  • Patent number: 4980606
    Abstract: An electron beam focusing device for use in a cathode ray tube (CRT) including a first and a second conductor film each formed on the inner surface of a neck portion of the CRT, which are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, and a resistive conductor film which connects the first and second conductor films with each other. The first conductor film is located before the second conductor film in a beam travelling direction. The additional conductor film has a higher resistivity than that of the first and second conductor films. The first conductor film is set at a higher potential than the second conductor film. A dark current flowing from a high potential side through the first conductor film, the resistive conductor film and the second conductor film produces a voltage drop across the resistive conductor film so that the surface potential of the resistive conductor film is stabilized, thus forming an electrostatic lens with a stabilized electric field.
