Abstract: A flat cathode-ray tube has a tubular glass body comprising a tubular neck portion, a flat funnel portion, a flat box-shaped head portion, an electron gun housed in the neck portion, and a fluorescent screen at the head portion. At least the funnel portion is made entirely of a flat glass plate. A deflection yoke, mounted on the junction of the neck and funnel portions, comprises a core having at its funnel-side end an opening approximately rectangular with substantially straight upper and lower sides and gently outwardly bulging arcuate opposite lateral sides. The core's inner surface, defining an opening, is continuously reducing in size from the funnel side toward the neck portion conforming with the tapered shape of the funnel portion. The yoke further comprises a pair of vertical deflection coils wound around an upper and a lower portion of the core. A pair of horizontal deflection coils, each have horizontal portions extending at least along the opposite sides of the funnel portion.

Abstract: A flat color CRT having a phosphor screen comprises red, green and, blue primary phosphor color stripes arranged at a spacing, and phosphor index stripes arranged in some of the spaces between the phosphor color stripes in a definite relation thereto. A black nonluminescent substance is provided between the phosphor index stripes and positioned at least in the spaces between the phosphor color stripes, and a metallic layer of sufficient thickness formed on the inner side of a tube panel and positioned in a corresponding relationship to the phosphor color stripes.

Abstract: A flat color CRT wherein a single beam emitted from an electron gun scans the inner surface of a tube wall and which includes a phosphor screen formed on the walls inner surface. The phosphor screen comprises a nonluminescent substance and phosphor index stripes with the substance interposed between the stripes. Red, green, blue primary phosphor color stripes have a sufficient thickness and are arranged repeatedly on the nonluminescent substance at a spacing in a definite relation to the phosphor index stripes.
