Abstract
A shadow mask of a color cathode-ray tube includes a substantially rectangular mask main body and a rectangular mask frame attached an outer periphery of the mask main body. The mask main body has a substantially rectangular main surface portion formed of a curved face having a large number of electron beam passage apertures, the main surface portion having a longer axis and a shorter axis perpendicular to the longer axis, and a skirt portion raised in peripheral edges of the main surface portion. The skirt portion has a pair of longer side walls extending substantially in parallel to the longer axis, and a pair of shorter side walls extending substantially in parallel to the shorter axis. Each of the longer side walls includes a pressing portion located near the shorter axis so as to protrude toward the mask frame and pressing the mask frame.
