  • Patent number: 6577047
    Abstract: A cathode ray tube capable of reducing the doming amount and suppressing the occurrence of moire stripes at the same time with improved effects to suppress the occurrence of moire stripes even more is provided. The protruding portions 28a, 28b are protruding from the ends of the horizontal direction of the aperture to the inside of the aperture 27. With regard to the horizontal cross sections of the protruding portions 28a, 28b, the portions facing each other left and right via the aperture are formed to be asymmetrical to the center line 29 in order to reduce or block the incident electron beam. By forming the protruding portions 28a, 28b, the doming amount can be reduced and the occurrence of moire stripes can be suppressed at the same time. Furthermore, by forming the portions facing each other left and right of the protruding portions asymmetrically, the effects to suppress the occurrence of moire stripes can be improved even more.

  • Patent number: 6573647
    Abstract: A color cathode-ray tube that can attenuate vibration of an entire shadow mask positively with a simple structure. The color cathode-ray tube includes a frame-shaped mask frame and a shadow mask in which many apertures are formed in a flat plate, the shadow mask being stretched and fixed in the mask frame in a condition in which a tension force is applied in one direction. The amplitude in the end portions of the shadow mask is not less than a certain amount relative to the amplitude in the center portion of the shadow mask, in a resonance of the shadow mask caused by a vibration propagated to the color cathode-ray tube. Furthermore, by providing vibration attenuators at the end portions of the shadow mask, vibrations at the end portions of the shadow mask are attenuated as the side surfaces of the shadow mask slide on the vibration attenuators. Thus, vibration of the entire shadow mask can be extinguished positively.

  • Patent number: 6208072
    Abstract: An image display apparatus includes a vacuum container whose inside is kept under vacuum, a fluorescent layer, an electron emission source having an electron source which is arranged in a matrix and electrodes having a function for focusing and deflecting electron beams, and the fluorescent layer is illuminated by the electron beam. The average electric field strength between the fluorescent layer and the electrodes is set to be stronger than that between the electrodes and the electron emission source. Consequently, electron beams can be deflected in predetermined directions, and electron beams that land on the fluorescent layer can be focused to be a predetermined size. As a result, electron beams can be landed exactly at predetermined positions of the fluorescent layer having an arrangement whose number is more than the number of the electron emission source, and an image display apparatus having high resolution can be provided.
