Color picture tube and method for manufacturing the same

A color picture tube comprising:

• an envelope comprising
• a panel having a face portion whose outer surface is substantially flat, and
• a funnel having a neck portion;
• a phosphor screen formed on an inner surface of the face portion;
• an electron gun disposed in a space inside the neck portion;
• and
• a shadow mask that is spaced away from and faces the phosphor screen, the shadow mask comprising
• a perforated portion having a plurality of apertures,
• a nonperforated portion, formed on a periphery of the perforated portion, comprising a pair of longer side portions each having an outer bead and an inner bead that are adjacent to each other and a pair of shorter side portions each having an outer bead and an inner bead that are adjacent to each other, and
• a skirt portion formed on a periphery of the nonperforated portion;
• wherein the non-perforated portion is formed so as to extend from the perforated portion, and the skirt portion is bent from the non-perforated portion so as to be substantially parallel with a tube axis,
• in each of the pair of longer side portions, the outer bead extends along a longitudinal direction of the longer side portion, and the inner bead extends along the longitudinal direction of the longer side portion and is disposed between the outer bead and the perforated portion,
• in each of the pair of shorter side portions, the outer bead extends alone a longitudinal direction of the shorter side portion, and the inner bead extends along the longitudinal direction of the shorter side portion and is disposed between the outer bead and the perforated portion, and
• in each of the pair of longer side portions, a spacing between the outer bead and the inner bead is at least 2 mm.
