Abstract
Disclosed is a cathode ray tube comprised of a funnel with flute sections wherein the Beam Shadow Neck phenomenon can be prevented while at the same time ensuring adequate structural strength to prevent collapse due to an internal vacuum. These optimum flute sections are accomplished with the help of a computer simulation performance wherethrough electron beam orbits and funnel stress are interpreted.
Claims4
A cathode ray tube comprising:
- a face panel having a phosphor screen formed on its inner surface;
- a funnel connected to the face panel;
- a neck integrally connected to the funnel at a neck seal position;
- and
- a deflection yoke mounted on a cone portion of the funnel;
- wherein a cross section of the cone portion changes from circular to rectangular from the neck seal toward the panel and a groove is formed along each diagonal of the cone portion;
- and
- wherein a flute angle, defined as an angle between a first axis and a second axis, which are normal to a tube axis and connects the farthest point on the contour of a cross section of the cone portion and a point on the contour at which the section representing one of the grooves begin, varies from one cross-section to another and has at least one peak between the neck seal position and a standard deflection position of the cone portion, and decreases between the standard deflection position and an inflection point position of the cone portion.

A cathode ray tube comprising:
- a face panel having an inner surface with a phosphor screen;
- a funnel coupled to the face panel;
- a neck coupled to the funnel;
- and
- a deflection yoke disposed on a cone portion of the funnel;
- wherein said cone portion comprises a cross section which changes from circular at the neck to rectangular toward the panel, said cone having an axial groove formed along a path intersecting a radial diagonal axis;
- and
- wherein a flute angle, comprising an angle between the radial diagonal axis and a radial axis extending through an edge of the groove, varies along the axial direction and comprises at least one peak between the neck and a standard deflection position of the cone portion, and decreases between the standard deflection position and an inflection point position of the cone portion.
