Abstract
A cathode-ray tube has an electron gun with a main focusing lens, wherein each electrode comprises a rectangular aperture whose large dimension is along the horizontal axis (Ox) and terminating at its two ends in two identical semi-ellipses of order n that are symmetric with respect to the axis of the gun (Z).
Claims5
A cathode-ray tube having an electron gun having a main focusing lens, the electron gun comprising a focusing electrode and an acceleration electrode aligned along the mean axis of emission of the electron gun, each electrode comprising:
- a plate furnished with a central hole and two outer holes, the three holes of each plate being aligned along an axis parallel to the horizontal axis;
- and,
- a portion having an inner edge that defines a single aperture elongated along the horizontal axis through which all electron beam pass;
- wherein
- the three holes are diaposed in proximity to the single aperture and are parallel to the single aperture, and
- the single aperture comprises a rectangular central portion whose larger dimension is along the horizontal axis and end portions terminating in two identical semi-ellipses of order n that are symmetric with respect to the axis of the gun, and of formula:

- in which x=a cosnθ;
- y=b sinnθ,
- the parameter n has a value different from 1,
- a is half the width of the ellipses of order n along the horizontal axis and b being half the height of the ellipses of order n along the vertical axis,
- x represents the abscissa of a point lying on the ellipse of order n and y is the ordinate of a point lying on the ellipses of order n,
- θ is an angle which varies in one quadrant between 0° and 90°.
