Color picture device having magnetic pole pieces

A color picture device comprising:

• a vacuum envelope having a tube axis and including a panel section having a phosphor screen on an inner surface thereof, a funnel section and a neck section;
• three electron guns for emitting electron beams, arranged in said neck section each gun having an electron lens of large diameter associated therewith;
• a shadow mask arranged to oppose said phosphor screen of said panel section and having a number of apertures which are regularly arranged so as to selectively allow the electron beams emitted by said three electron guns to land at predetermined positions on said phosphor screen;
• convergence yokes, arranged around said neck section, for correcting misconvergence of the electron beams;
• and
• a convergence electrode, arranged in said neck portion and mounted on ends of said electron guns closer to said phosphor screen, for converging the electron beams over the entire surface of said phosphor screen, said convergence electrode having three pairs of pole pieces each formed of a magnetic substance having high permeability and arranged in said neck section to surround each corresponding electron beam, the length Wp of the pair of pole pieces along the tube axis being about two times or more the distance G between the pair of pole pieces, said length Wp being about twice the thickness Wy of said convergence yoke along the tube axis, so that the ratio of leakage flux from said pair of pole pieces along the tube axis to total flux generated by said convergence yoke is 20% or less,
• wherein each of said pole pieces has, in a section in a radial direction of said neck section, a magnetic field absorption portion for absorbing the magnetic field generated by said convergence yoke, and mounted on said convergence electrode, a magnetic field guiding portion, bent away from said magnetic field absorption portion, and an end portion contiguous with said magnetic field guiding portion for surrounding a corresponding electron beam;
• and
• wherein the distance SG between said tube axis and the center of the electron beams is approximately equal to said distance G between the pairs of pole pieces.
