Abstract: A color cathode ray tube having a black matrix fluorescent screen of a high degree of accuracy and in which the accuracy of beam transmissive aperture edges of a color selecting mechanism is moderated, as well as a method of manufacture thereof are provided. On the color selecting mechanism, a resist pattern that is independent of the pattern of beam transmissive apertures of the color selecting mechanism is formed, and a fluorescent screen is created using the resist pattern as a mask. After creating the fluorescent screen, resist patterns are removed to form the color selecting mechanism. The color cathode ray tube is configured by positioning this color mechanism in such a way that it faces the color fluorescent screen created in the manner described above.

Abstract: A cathode ray tube including a color selecting, electrode having a plurality of metal tapes; a rectangular frame for holding the color selecting electrode under tension; a plate spring having one end fixed to the frame and the other end having an engaging hole; and a panel having a pin for engaging the engaging hole of the plate spring, the panel being held to the frame by the plate spring; wherein a resonance frequency of the plate spring is different from a resonance frequency of the metal tapes. Since the resonance frequency of the plate spring is different from the resonance frequency of the metal tapes, possible resonance of the metal tapes with a large amplitude by the vibrations of the plate spring due to external vibrations applied to the cathode ray tube can be prevented. Therefore, even though the color selecting electrode has a fine pitch with a large screen and a high definition, the cathode ray tube has vibration resistance to prevent color deviation or the like due to the vibrations.
