Abstract
A tensioned shadow mask for a cathode ray tube (CRT), including: a series of parallel strips separated by slits having a predetermined interval; a plurality of tie bars interconnecting adjacent strips to define a plurality of slits at predetermined intervals; and a plurality of dummy bridges disposed between adjacent tie bars, extending from one of the strips to the other but not interconnecting the adjacent strips, wherein a length of the dummy bridges is greater than a length of the tie bars in the longitudinal direction of the strips.
Claims3
A tensioned shadow mask for a cathode ray tube (CRT), comprising:
- a series of parallel strips extending alone a longitudinal direction of the shadow mask and separated by respective longitudinal slits spaced from each other at an interval;
- a plurality of tie bars, each tie bar interconnecting, along the longitudinal direction, two of the slits and, along a transverse direction, interconnecting adjacent strips;
- and
- a plurality of dummy bridges, disposed between adjacent tie bars, extending from respective strips transversely into the slits toward, but not interconnecting, an adjacent strip, wherein the dummy bridges are longer than the tie bars along the longitudinal direction of the shadow mask.
