Abstract
A color cathode ray tube comprising a perforated molded mask curved inward in the middle between its two opposite sides and having round corners, and a support frame curved outward in the middle between its two opposite sides and having round corners, wherein the corners of mask are respectively brought into contact with the corners of the mask and the frame. Therefore, the alignment accuracy between a shadow mask assembly and phosphor film and the magnetic shielding of the color cathode ray tube can be improved.
Claims9
A color cathode ray tube comprising a glass valve with a panel portion and a funnel portion as well as a neck portion being integrated together, a phosphor film formed on the inner surface of said panel portion, an electron gun disposed at said neck portion for generation of an electron beam toward said phosphor film, a perforated molded mask disposed adjacent to said phosphor film and having a plurality of holes for allowing an electron beam to reach an individual predetermined position on said phosphor film, a support frame extended so as to surround outer peripheral edges of said perforated molded mask, and an internal magnetic shield having a side wall extending from said support frame along the funnel inner surface, wherein said molded mask has a substantially rectangular shape with long sides and short sides and with rounded corners, said short sides or long sides of said molded mask being inwardly curved with respect to the tube axis, and said support frame having a substantially rectangular shape with long sides and short sides, said long side or said short side of said support frame being outwardly curved with respect to the tube axis, and a dowel being provided at a central portion of said long sides or said short side of said support frame without a dowel being provided at a central portion of said long sides or said short sides of said molded mask.
A color cathode ray tube comprising a glass valve with a panel portion and a funnel portion as well as a neck portion being integrated together, a phosphor film formed on the inner surface of the panel portion, an electron gun disposed at said neck portion for generation of an electron beam toward the phosphor film, a perforated molded mask of substantially rectangular shape disposed adjacent to said phosphor film and having a plurality of holes for allowing an electron beam to reach an individual predetermined position on the phosphor film, a support frame of substantially rectangular shape extended so as to surround outer peripheral edges of the perforated molded mask, and an internal magnetic shield having a side wall extending from the support frame along the funnel inner surface, wherein said perforated molded mask is inwardly curved at substantially central portions of two opposite sides with corners each having a substantially arc-like shape being curved outwardly, said support frame being outwardly curved at substantially central portions of two opposite sides with corners each having a substantially arc-like shape being curved outwardly, the corners of said perforated molded mask being in internal contact with the corners of said support frame and a distal edge of a dowel provided on a side of said support frame is disposed at least partially inside a straight line connecting together predetermined points of the corners of said perforated molded mask which are in contact with the corners of said support frame.
