Abstract: A color cathode ray tube has a vacuum vessel including a panel portion having a phosphor screen on its inner face, a neck portion and a funnel portion jointing the neck portion and the panel portion; an electron gun assembly including an electrostatic main lens disposed in the neck portion; a deflection yoke arranged around the neck side of the funnel portion for deflecting three in-line arranged electron beams emitted from the electron gun assembly to the phosphor screen; and a 2-pole ring magnet arranged around the neck portion for adjusting the trajectories of the electron beams. The 2-pole ring magnet is arranged to have its center closer to the phosphor screen than is the center of the electrostatic main lens of the electron gun assembly. The value, as calculated by dividing the value of the radial component amplitude of the magnetic field distribution of the 2-pole ring magnet on the circumference of a circle having a radius of the s-size, by the value of the circumferential component amplitude, is 0.

Abstract: In a cathode ray tube having an antistatic film 6 stuck to the front surface of a panel section 1 and a conductive tape 7 for grounding the end portion of the antistatic film 6 to the earth, a silicone adhesive 8 containing a conductive filler having an excellent close contact adhesion to silicon dioxide (SiO.sub.2) is interposed in at least a part of an close contact adhesion portion where the conductive tape 7 is stuck to the antistatic film 6. Thanks to the interposition of the conductive filler containing silicone adhesive 8, the resistances between the antistatic film 6 and the conductive tape 7 and between the silicone adhesive 8 and the conductive tape 7 can be lowered and sputtering which may be caused by the high voltage induced in the antistatic film 6 is prevented, so that the breakage of the antistatic film 6 can be prevented at the close contact adhesion portion.
