Abstract: A flat cathode-ray tube has a tubular glass body comprising a tubular neck portion, a flat funnel portion, a flat box-shaped head portion, an electron gun housed in the neck portion, and a fluorescent screen at the head portion. At least the funnel portion is made entirely of a flat glass plate. A deflection yoke, mounted on the junction of the neck and funnel portions, comprises a core having at its funnel-side end an opening approximately rectangular with substantially straight upper and lower sides and gently outwardly bulging arcuate opposite lateral sides. The core's inner surface, defining an opening, is continuously reducing in size from the funnel side toward the neck portion conforming with the tapered shape of the funnel portion. The yoke further comprises a pair of vertical deflection coils wound around an upper and a lower portion of the core. A pair of horizontal deflection coils, each have horizontal portions extending at least along the opposite sides of the funnel portion.
