A color picture tube of an in-line type comprises means for deflecting beams of electron emitted from electron guns of the in-line type aligned horizontally such that for the horizontal deflection, the central beam is subjected to a greater deflection than side beams and for the vertical deflection, the side beams are subjected to a greater deflection than the central beam. Two vertical magnetic pole piece plates which are long vertically and thin horizontally are so disposed as to sandwich the central beam near the outlet of the central electron gun in order to weaken horizontal deflection magnetic field acting on the central beam, whereby a portion of the horizontal deflection magnetic flux acting on the central beam is absorbed by the two magnetic pole piece plates. The vertical deflection magnetic field is almost not affected by these vertical magnetic pole piece plates. Further, two horizontal magnetic pole piece plates which are long horizontally and short vertically are so disposed as to sandwich side beams near the outlets of the side electron guns in order to weaken vertical deflection magnetic fields acting on the side beams and to intensity vertical deflection magnetic fields acting on the central beam.

Color picture tube

The present invention relates to a deflection yoke device which is preferably combined with an in-line type color picture tube having electron guns aligned horizontally. The distribution of magnetic fields is determined in the horizontal direction such that a sharp or strong barrel magnetic field is localized on the side of the neck portion whereas an extremely sharp pincushion magnetic field is localized on the side of the funnel portion and at the same time, an intensely sharp pincushion magnetic field is distributed between the funnel portion and the neck portion. The central electron beam is deflected more at a greater angle than side electron beams so as to land outside the side electron beams.
