Abstract: There is disclosed an in-line type three-gun color picture tube with a couple of magnetic members inside its neck portion and a further magnet outside its neck portion. The respective magnetic members are provided with three through-holes permitting electron beams emitted from the electron guns to pass through and are disposed separately in a beam traveling path, so that the periphery of the through-holes of one of the magnetic members is magnetized in S pole and that of the other magnetic member is magnetized in N pole, and accordingly a focusing magnetic field is formed between the respective pairs of the through-holes which are opposite to each other.

Abstract: An electron beam focusing structure for a three in-line gun color picture tube comprises a permanent magnet or a focusing coil and a pair of magnetic yokes made of magnetic material high in magnetic permeability and having beam-passing through-holes and being disposed opposite to each other and perpendicular to the axis of the tube, for controlling the focusing magnetic fields generated for the plural electron beams by the permanent magnet or focusing coil in such a manner that the beams converge near the phosphor screen and focused respectively on the phosphor screen. The magnetic yokes are provided with cylindrical magnetic members extending in the axial direction of the tube, the cylindrical magnetic members for the center beam being different in length from the cylindrical magnetic members for the side beams, whereby the effective pole gap lengths for the respective beams between the magnetic yokes are so controlled as to provide optimum focusing fields for the respective beams.
