The shadow mask is manufactured in such a manner that stripe-shaped insulating material layers are formed on the surface of a mask base material facing the electron gun, the mask base material is thereafter shaped into a predetermined shape, and the insulating material layers on the shaped mask are sintered.

Abstract: An electron gun assembly of a color cathode ray tube emits at least one electron beam having an oblong cross-sectional shape extending substantially in the horizontal direction, and emits three electron beams in a substantially non-convergent state toward the central portion of a phosphor screen. A deflection device comprises an auxiliary magnetic field generator for generating a quadrupole magnetic field component which focuses the electron beam with an oblong cross section more heavily in the horizontal direction than in the vertical direction. The auxiliary magnetic field generator is located in a given region in a tube-axis direction in which the horizontally deflecting coil is located.

Abstract: A face panel (12) constituting a part of a vacuum envelope (20) has a substantially rectangular effective area (10), the inner surface of which is formed with a phosphor screen (14). The effective area has a long axis (X) extending in the horizontal direction and a short axis (Y) extending in the vertical direction. The outer surface of the effective area is cylindrically curved with an infinitely large radius of curvature along the long axis and a predetermined radius of curvature along the short axis. The vacuum envelope has arranged therein a shadow mask (15) in opposed relation to the phosphor screen. A mask body of the shadow mask has a substantially rectangular effective surface cylindrically curved with an infinitely large radius of curvature along the long axis and a predetermined radius of curvature along the short axis thereof.

Each slit type aperture array is obtained by arranging a plurality of slit type apertures in an array in the direction of the minor axis of the effective region of the shadow mask. In this color cathode ray tube, the difference between the array interval of the slit type aperture arrays at a peripheral portion on the long side of the shadow mask and the array interval of the slit type aperture arrays on the major axis is a maximum value within a distance range of 0.4 h to 0.

Abstract: A color-cathode ray tube having a shadow mask with improved aperture arrays. The aperture arrays are spaced at appropriate intervals and are curved to suppress local doming of the effective part of the shadow mask and to prevent electron-beam mislanding from occurring on a phosphor screen. The distance between any two adjacent apertures is expressed as: PH(N)=A+BN.sup.2 +CN.sup.4, where PH(N) is the distance between the (N-1)th and Nth arrays and A, B, and C are fourth-degree functions of a Y-coordinate. The apertures along a long side of the effective part of the shadow mask in a section extending for one-fourth of a width of the effective part of the shadow mask from a short side of the effective part of the shadow mask are inclined in an opposite direction to the apertures within the section and located one-third of a height of the effective part of the shadow mask from the long side.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cathode-ray tube having: (1) a face panel; (2) a phosphor screen; (3) a funnel coupled to the face panel; and (4) an electron beam emitter. The outer surface of the face panel is defined by using orthogonal coordinates. An origin of the orthogonal coordinates is defined as a center of the outer surface of the face panel. An X-axis of the orthogonal coordinates is defined as a horizontal axis. A Y-axis of the orthogonal coordinates is defined as a vertical axis. A Z-axis of the orthogonal coordinates is defined as the central axis of the funnel. The Z coordinate for points on the outer surface of the face panel are defined by the polynomial: ##EQU1## wherein i and j are integers .gtoreq.0, n=2, and aij are predetermined coefficients of the polynomial. The predetermined coefficients along the X-axis are represented by a.sub.10 and a.sub.20, and coefficients along the Y-axis are represented by a.sub.01 and a.sub.02. The coefficients a.sub.10, a.sub.20, a.sub.01, and a.sub.

Abstract: In a color cathode ray tube, an in-line electron gun assembly is located in the neck of a vacuum envelope and vertical and horizontal magnetic coils are arranged on the outer surface of the funnel of the vacuum envelope. The vertical magnetic coil produces a vertical magnetic field which has an asymmetrical distribution relative to a horizontal axis within a deflection plane. The asymmetrical distribution is determined as a function of the screen position on which electron beams deflected from the horizontal axis of the screen land. The electron beams are thus subjected to a negative astigmatism by the vertical deflection magnetic field.

Abstract: Three electron beams are generated so that they are arranged in-line in a horizontal plane to impinge through a shadow mask on a phosphor screen consisting of red, green and blue phosphors. These beams are generated practically parallel. In the deflection device that deflects the electron beams, the horizontal deflection magnetic field is made uniform and the vertical deflection magnetic field is made barrel shaped. The half-width a of the magnetic flux distribution on the tube axis of the horizontal deflection magnetic field is set so that a/A=0.1 to 0.4, where A is the distance from the center of the magnetic flux density distribution to the phosphor screen surface. It is arranged that the picture signals modulating the respective beams are not mutually time-wise offset since the three electron beams are parallel. Thus little electron beam spot distortion is obtained over the whole picture screen.

Abstract: In a color picture device having a color picture tube, three electron guns for emitting electron beams are arranged in a neck section of the tube. A shadow mask, having a number of apertures, is arranged opposing a phosphor screen of a panel section of the tube. Convergence yokes for correcting misconvergence of the three electron beams are arranged around the neck section. A convergence electrode for converging the three electron beams over the entire screen is arranged in the neck section at the ends of the guns closer to the phosphor screen. The convergence electrode has three pairs of pole pieces each of which is formed of a magnetic substance with high permeability and is arranged in the neck section so as to surround the electron beam between the pole pieces. The length Wp of each pole piece along the tube axis is about two times or more the distance G between the pole pieces, and the length Wp is about twice the thickness Wy of the convergence yoke along the tube axis.
