Cathode ray tube

An electron lens system for a cathode ray tube comprising:

• an envelope, an electron beam source positioned at one end of said envelope, a target positioned at the other end of said envelope, a first electrode which is supplied with a first potential and positioned between said electron beam source and said target, a second electrode which is supplied with a second potential which is higher than said first potential and which is positioned between said electron beam source and said target, and third electrodes which are separated along the direction of electron beam and are formed as four part electrodes and which are supplied with vertical or horizontal deflection voltage and which are all positioned between first and second electrodes, first extensions from said first electrode to each of said third electrodes and second extensions from each of said third electrodes to said first electrode interlaced with each other and electrically isolated from each other at a position which is intermediate between the first and third electrodes, and third extensions from each of said third electrodes to said second electrode and fourth extensions from said second electrode to each of said third electrodes and interlaced with each other and electrically isolated from each other at a position which is intermediate between the second and third electrodes, whereby an intermediate potential is used for a focussing lens between said second potential and said third potential exists at said intermediate position which is a function of the area of said second and third extensions.
