Abstract
A heat shielding plate is employed in a cathode ray tube (CRT) of a monitor which includes a front casing to which the CRT is integrally engaged, a rear cover integrally engaged with a rear surface of the front casing, and a printed circuit board (PCB) engaged to a lower portion of the front casing and mounted at a certain distance below the CRT. The heat shielding plate is mounted between the PCB and the CRT for preventing heat generated in the PCB from being transferred to the CRT, and for preventing any arc generated in the CRT from being transferred to the PCB. The display quality of the monitor is enhanced by shielding the CRT from heat generated in a PCB so as to prevent expansion of a mask in the CRT. The shield is also capable of preventing an arc generated in the CRT from being transferred to the PCB and damaging the PCB.
