Abstract: This invention relates to a method of coating an inner surface of a funnel of a cathode ray tube with lining graphite acting as an inner conductive film between a screen portion and a high voltage side, i.e., an electron gun of the cathode ray tube. According to the method, the lining graphite is coated on the entire inner surface of the funnel with the exception of only an area of the portion of the surface, on which a getter or a frittable getter is located.

Abstract: A stray emission prevention circuit for a system having a cathode ray tube including a charging and discharging section for applying a system power supply voltage upon power-on of the system to charge with a constant voltage and for discharging the charged voltage upon power-off of the system, and a switching section for forming an open circuit between a high voltage unit of the cathode ray tube and a ground upon the power-on of the system and forming a closed circuit therebetween upon the power-off of the system to discharge the residual high voltage in the cathode ray tube, the circuit being provided on a circuit board of the system.
