Color picture tube apparatus

A color picture tube apparatus comprising:

• means for generating first, second, and third video signals;
• means for generating a single electron beam;
• applying means for continuously and alternately supplying said first, second, and third video signals to said single electron beam generating means to modulate said single electron beam;
• control means for forming a crossover by controlling said single electron beam;
• auxiliary deflecting means for accelerating said single electron beam from said crossover, said auxiliary deflecting means splitting said accelerated single electron beam into first, second, and third electron beam segments respectively corresponding to said first, second, and third video signals, said auxiliary deflecting means splitting said accelerated single electron beams by performing electrostatic auxiliary deflection of said accelerated single electrode beam in synchronism with application of said first, second and third video signals to said single electron beam generating means;
• light ray generating means for generating light rays in response to incidence of said first, second, and third electron beam segments;
• an electron lens for focusing said first, second, and third electron beam segments from said first auxiliary deflecting means on said light ray generating means;
• and
• main deflecting means for deflecting said first, second, and third electron beam segments to scan said light ray generating means with said electron beam segments in horizontal and vertical directions,
• wherein said auxiliary deflection means are located sufficiently close to said crossover to permit said auxiliary deflecting means to focus said first, second and third electron beam segments directly upon said electron lens.
