Abstract
A shadow mask is formed by press molding and includes a substantially rectangular mask effective portion in the form of a gently sloped dome having electron beam passage apertures and a skirt portion extending from the peripheral edge of the mask effective portion. The skirt portion has a plurality of apertures arranged parallel to the peripheral edge of the mask effective portion and spaced from one another and belt portions formed between the apertures and an extending end edge of the skirt portion and extending along the extending end edge. Each of the apertures is formed so that its width increases from the peripheral edge of the mask effective portion toward the extending end edge side of the skirt portion.
Claims12
A color cathode ray tube comprising:
- a panel having a phosphor screen on the inner surface thereof, the phosphor screen having a plurality of phosphor layers;
- an electron gun located opposite the phosphor screen and configured to emit electron beams toward the phosphor screen;
- and
- a shadow mask located opposite the phosphor screen and having a large number of electron beam passage apertures through which the electron beams are applied to the phosphor layers corresponding thereto,
- the shadow mask being formed by press molding and including a substantially rectangular mask effective portion in the form of a gently sloped dome having the electron beam passage apertures and a skirt portion extending from the peripheral edge of the mask effective portion substantially at right angles thereto,
- the skirt portion having a plurality of skirt portion apertures arranged to be spaced from one another in a direction parallel to the peripheral edge of the mask effective portion, and belt portions formed between the skirt portion apertures and an extending end edge of the skirt portion and extending along the extending end edge, the belt portions having wrinkles formed along the extending end edge by the press molding.

- the shadow mask being formed by press molding and including a substantially rectangular mask effective portion in the form of a gently sloped dome having the electron beam passage apertures and a skirt portion extending from the peripheral edge of the mask effective portion substantially at right angles thereto,
- the skirt portion having a plurality of slit groups arranged to be spaced from one another in a direction parallel to the peripheral edge of the mask effective portion, and belt portions defined between the slit groups and an extending end edge of the skirt portion and extending along the extending end edge,
- each of the slit groups including a plurality of slits extending substantially at right angles to the extending end edge of the skirt portion and arranged at spaces in a direction substantially parallel to the extending end edge, the slits including a central slit, the longest one, and side slits arranged on the opposite sides of the central slit and having lengths reduced stepwise.
