In a shadow maskof pressing type, a large number of slots are made in a mask body in the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction. Each slot has a roughly rectangular backside opening, a roughly rectangular front-side opening, and a through-hole that connects these two openings. Between each slot of the multiple slots made in the mask body that is situated at least on either of the two diagonal axes of the mask body but in such a position that the angle at which electron beams enter the slot is 20 degrees or more and another slot that is arranged adjacently to the above slot in the vertical direction, a connecting part connecting the peripheral-side vertical outer edges of the front-side openings of these slots is provided so that it runs through a horizontal bridge part formed between the front-side openings of the slots.

Shadow mask having a slot structure that permits electron beams to enter at increased angles

A slot tension-type shadow mask for the cathode-ray tube (CRT) has slots. Each slot has two openings and a pseudo-bridge between the two opening of the slot. The slots are formed in the X-Y plane that is formed away from the electron gun in the Z-axis. Each pseudo bridge has a pair of protuberances separated by a lacuna. The edges of each protuberance is etched to have various surface profiles in the X, Y, Z directions and/or the shape of the lacuna is also varied to provide effective shielding while overcoming various problems associated with heating and image imperfections appearing on the CRT screen.

Shadow mask for cathode ray tube

A shadow mask with a slot having a substantially rectangular shape and a curved slot. The rectangular slot is composed of a back side opening formed on an electron beam incident side, a front side opening having a large area to allow the electron beam to pass, and a side wall sections inclining between the back side opening and the front side opening. The curved slot is composed of a back side opening ( ) formed on the electron beam incident side and curved such that both longitudinal end portions are apart from an axis of ordinate passing a central portion of the shadow mask, a front side opening ( ) formed having a large area to allow the electron beam to pass and side wall section ( ) inclining between the back side opening and the front side opening.
