Abstract
An electron gun for a cathode ray tube includes an accelerating electrode to be supplied with a maximum voltage, a focus disposed adjacent to and spaced from the accelerating electrode, and a focus-corrective electrode adjacent to and spaced from the focus electrode. The accelerating electrode and the focus electrode form a first electron lens for focusing the electron beams stronger in a direction parallel to an in-line direction of the electron beams than in a direction perpendicular to the in-line direction, and the focus-corrective electrode is configured so as to form a quadrupole lens by application thereto of a voltage which is lower than a voltage applied to the focus electrode in cooperation with the focus electrode for elongating a cross-section of the electron beams horizontally, and is adapted to be supplied with a voltage which increases with increasing deflection of the electron beams and which is lower than the voltage applied to the focus electrode.
