  • Patent number: 6396221
    Abstract: A color cathode-ray tube including a main lens section comprising an anode to which an anode voltage is applied, and a focus electrode. The focus electrode has first type of focus electrode group to which a first focus voltage is applied, and a second type of focus electrode group to which a second focus voltage is applied which is obtained by superposing on a predetermined voltage a voltage that changes depending upon the deflecting amount of the electron beams. Between the first type of focus electrode group and the second type of focus electrode group are formed in a dynamic lens and an electrostatic quadrupole lens. Three electron beam passage holes are formed in the electrodes that form the dynamic lens and the centers for the outer electron beam passage holes in the first type of focus electrode group are deviated relative to the centers of the outer electron beam passage holes in the second type of focus electrode group in the horizontal direction.

  • Publication number: 20010013760
    Abstract: A focus electrode 4 is constituted by first type of focus electrode groups 43, 45 to which a first focus voltage is applied, and second type of focus electrode groups 44, 46 to which a second focus voltage is applied. Between the first type of focus electrode groups and the second type of focus electrode groups are formed a lens for correcting the field curvature and an electrostatic quadruple lens. The center axes of the outer electron beam passage holes in the first type of focus electrode forming the lens for correcting the field curvature are deviated on a horizontal plane from the center axes of the outer electron beam passage holes in the second type of focus electrode. The electrostatic quadruple lens produces dissimilar intensities for the outer electron beams and for the center electron beam.
