Abstract
A shadow mask of a color cathode ray tube has a large number of electron beam apertures through which electron beams emitted from the electron gun pass. Bach of the electron beam apertures has a larger opening open to a surface of the shadow mask on a phosphor screen side, and a smaller opening open to a surface of the shadow mask on an electron gun side and communicating with the larger opening. The smaller opening of each of the electron beam apertures located at a peripheral portion of the shadow mask is defined by a wall surface of the shadow mask. The wall surface includes an outward portion which is located outward in a radial direction with respect to a center of the shadow mask and a central-side portion which is located on a central side of the shadow mask. An angle defined by the outward portion and a central axis of the smaller opening is larger than an angle defined by the central-side portion and the central axis of the smaller opening.
