Abstract
For use in a beam index color cathode ray tube (CRT), a multi-beam group electron gun directs first and second groups of vertically aligned electron beams on respective parallel, horizontally aligned color phosphor stripes on the CRT's display screen. Each group of electron beams includes three beams, one for each of the three primary colors of red, green and blue. The first and second electron beam groups are horizontally offset from one another, with the upper, intermediate and lower electron beams in each group tracing the same horizontal phosphor stripe as the beams scan the display screen and with a time delay provided to synchronize the video information of both electron beam groups. A color video signal is provided either to a respective cathode or to a respective segmented conductive portion containing a beam passing aperture in the electron gun's G control grid for individually modulating each beam with color video image information.
