Abstract: A color cathode ray tube apparatus is provided with an electron gun assembly which emits three electron beams and focuses and converges the electron beam onto a phosphor screen. In the gun assembly, the electron beams generated from cathodes are accelerated and controlled by first and second grids and pass through third, fourth and fifth grids. The third and fourth grids have single rectangular apertures common to the three electron beams, respectively, which are faced to each other and have different heights and widths. Each of the fourth and fifth grids have individual apertures which allow the corresponding electron beams to pass therethrough, respectively. The third and fifth grids is maintained at fixed potentials and a potential of the fourth grid is adjusted. Thus, individual focusing and convergence electron lenses are formed between the fourth and fifth grids.

Abstract: An electron gun for a color-picture tube includes adjacent low and high potential electrodes composing an electron lens, which electrodes have electron beam path holes horizonally formed with electric-field correcting members or raised portions. According to this construction, vertical equipotential lines are projected into the electrode so that the low potential electrode adds to electron beams a vertical focusing effect more strongly than a horizontal one and the high potential electrode adds to electron beams a vertical divergent effect more strongly than a horizontal one. The section of the electron beam in a deflection region has an ellipse shape whose major axis extends horizontally, resulting in suppressing a halo portion on the screen. The electron beam is properly focused horizontally and vertically so that the electron beam spot has a circular shape on the center of a screen.

On the first focusing electrode unit side opposite to the second focusing electrode unit are formed first electron beam path holes whose major axes extend horizontally.

Thus, convergent and divergent lenses are formed between the focusing electrode and the intermediate electrode and between the accelerating electrode and the intermediate electrode. The lens powers of the convergent and divergent lenses are varied in accordance with the adjustment of the variable resistor.
