A method of manufacturing a focusing shadow mask for a color cathode ray tube is disclosed in which two conductive plates, forming the electrode structure, are secured together by insulating material so that they do not contact each other. Prior to assembly, at least one of the plates is provided with a pattern of substantially parallel ridges joined together by strips much thinner than the ridges. The material of the thin strips is removed after the plates are secured together, so that the remaining ridge portions form a set of conductors with the spaces therebetween being aligned with apertures on the other plate to form a plurality of openings for passage of electron beams.

Method of manufacturing a cathode ray tube for displaying colored

In an electrode assembly of at least two electrodes connected together in an insulating manner, said electrodes are kept at a defined distance by means of grains of an electrically insulating material. Said grains are sunk on two sides in layers of an adhesive material present on the facing surfaces of the electrodes and the sum of the thicknesses of which is smaller than the distance between the relevant electrodes.
