Abstract
An electron beam for a color CRT is equipped with three cathodes such that three electron beams may be emitted therefrom. Three grids are provided with beam passing holes for each of the three electron beams and are positioned in the path of the electron beams. The beam passing openings of the third grid are shifted from alignment with the beam passing openings of the first and second grid by a degree sufficient to focus the three beams appropriately relative to a central focal axis of the electron gun.
Claims17
An electron gun for a color cathode ray tube, comprising:
- three cathodes arranged in line with each other;
- a first grid having a first voltage applied thereto;
- a second grid having a second voltage applied thereto, said second voltage being higher than said first voltage;
- a third grid having a third voltage applied thereto, said third voltage being equal to an anode voltage of said electron gun;
- said electron gun operable such that three electron beams emitted from said three cathodes are commonly focused at a main focusing lens after passing through respective apertures provided in said first, second and third grids and converged so as to be displayed on a phosphor screen panel;
- characterized in that:
- the apertures of said third grid are shifted in relation to said apertures of said second grid by the predetermined degree in parallel with an in line direction of said electron beams such that a focused position of said electron beams is located on a center axis of said electron gun.

An electron gun for a color CRT, comprising:
- an electron gun having three cathodes capable of each emitting an electron beam, respectively;
- a low potential first grid;
- a middle potential second grid;
- and
- a high potential third grid, said first, second and third grids arranged such that three electron beams emitted from said three cathodes are focused after the beams pass through beam passing holes of said first, second and third grids, said beam passing holes of said third grid being shifted from alignment with said beam passing holes of said second grid by a degree sufficient to effect that the focused position of said electron beams are appropriately aligned relative to a central axis of said electron gun.
