Cathode ray tube having a pigment on a panel front face

A cathode ray tube comprising:

• a panel section having its inner surface with a plurality of phosphor layers formed thereon, a neck portion housing therein an electron gun assembly, and a funnel section for coupling said panel section and said neck portion together, wherein
• said panel has a film on a front face thereof, and that said film comprising a colored layer including pigment and fine particles of at least one material as selected from the group consisting of SI02, Al2O3, ZrO2, and TiO2, an electrically conductive layer, and a protective layer,
• said film falls within a range of 80 to 300 nm in film thickness of a pigment layer, ranges from 15 to 50 nm in film thickness of the conductive layer, and ranges from 50 to 140 nm in film thickness of the protective layer,
• said panel has an outer face measuring 10,000 mm or greater in equivalent radius of curvature in a diagonal direction, and
• the film is such that a film thickness at a central portion of a display screen is greater than a film thickness at a peripheral portion of the screen.
