Abstract
Accelerated thermal upshock rates in the exhaust cycle of a CRT envelope are attained for a tension mask CRT having a shadow mask supporting rail frame affixed to the front panel. The actual corners of the rail frame are chamfered or left open to provide an increased separation distance from the corners of the funnel seal land. Panel fracturing stresses generated in the funnel seal area corners during upshock are thus alleviated allowing for faster CRT throughput during manufacture, without increasing the size of the CRT components.
