Abstract: Four magnetic pieces are provided inside the cup-shaped portion of a shield cup. Correction magnetic field generating faces at the tips of the magnetic pieces are opposed to each other and sandwich an electron beam. Correction can be conducted according to the astigmatism amount of three electron beams because a correction magnetic field corresponding to the strength of a deflection magnetic field can be generated easily by leading the deflection magnetic field absorbed by the principal face portion of each magnetic piece to the correction magnetic field generating face. Thus, the difference in astigmatism amount among the electron beams caused by the deflection magnetic field can be corrected. Therefore, a color cathode ray tube apparatus that can display images with a high resolution over the whole screen surface can be provided.
