Abstract: A color cathode ray tube (CRT) has an electron-optical system (1) for generating three electron beams (EBR, EBG, EBB), deflection means (2) and a screen (3). In operation, the deflection means (2) deflect the electron beams (EBR, EBG, EBB), so as to change a landing position of the beams on the screen (3). However, by deflecting the beams, the beams are defocused and the spot on the screen (3) changes. In a color cathode ray tube with a relatively large screen, the electron beam defocusing can be observed to be different in strength for each beam (EBR, EBG, EBB). The invention provides a solution to this problem by providing a modified DAF section (40) in the electron-optical system (1). The DAF section (40) comprises at least two electron lenses (L1, L2) having different strengths for each electron beam (EBR, EBG, EBB).

Abstract: A color display device with an improved focus performance. Conventional color display tubes with DAF have an electron gun with a second focusing electrode (25) driven with a dynamic voltage which is varied synchronously with the deflection field. The dynamic quadruple lens formed between the first focusing electrode (23) and the second focusing electrode (25) is designed such that the horizontal lens action, which arises when the voltage on the second focusing electrode is increased, should be compensated by the main lens which becomes weaker when the voltage on the second focusing electrode is increased. In practice, this is not possible in the required range of the dynamic voltage on the second focusing electrode, leading to a deterioration of the focus performance of the color display device.
