Abstract
In an in-line type electron gun structure including three in-line type electron guns and a plurality of grid electrodes respectively aligned with the electron guns, each sleeve electrode has a length equal to at least 50% of an inner diameter thereof and the inner diameter is gradually increased toward a free end of the sleeve-shaped electrode from a point at about one half of the length thereof. This construction eliminates an auxiliary electrode, thus reducing the cost of manufacturing.
Claims3
In an electron gun structure for a color picture tube assembly having integrally formed lenses comprising a plurality of tubular electrode assemblies, each electrode assembly having a cup formed, in its bottom, with three electron beam passage holes and sleeve-shaped electrodes drawn from the bottom of the cup at peripheral edges of the electron beam passage holes, the bottom of one electrode assembly opposing that of a similar electrode assembly, said sleeve shaped electrodes for the opposed assemblies extending in opposite axial directions and aligned for passage of their respective beams for establishment of an electron lens and each sleeve-shaped electrode terminating in a substantially field-free region and having a length equal to at least 50% of an inner diameter thereof and said inner diameter of said sleeve-shaped electrodes tapered to gradually increase in diameter to a precision circle toward a free end thereof from an intermediate point along the length of the sleeve-shaped electrode.
