Abstract: A method for producing a shadow mask not susceptible to doming which includes in the preferred embodiment the step of heating boron in a vacuum atmosphere of 5.times.10.sup.-5 Torr at 2500.degree.-2600.degree. C. for 12-20 sec to deposit a boron layer of 1 .mu.m on the surface of a shadow mask and introducing nitrogen gas for 12-20 sec with maintaining the vacuum level of 10.sup.-4 Torr to form a boron nitride layer of 2 .mu.m.

Moreover, if each strip is bent near its second end so that the second end is directed toward a horizontal plane containing the tube axis, an external magnetic field in the direction in which the second end is directed is enhanced. This will further reduce deviation of the electron beam path In the horizontal direction.
