Abstract
A color cathode ray tube having at least an evacuated envelope comprising a panel portion having a phosphor screen formed on an inner surface thereof, a neck portion, and a funnel portion connecting the panel portion and the neck portion. A shadow mask is spaced from the phosphor screen and suspended within the panel portion, an in-line type electron gun is housed in the neck portion and include three cathodes, a first grid electrode spaced from the three cathodes and a plurality of electrodes spaced between the first grid electrode and the shadow mask for generating and directing three electron beams toward the phosphor screen. A deflection yoke is mounted in the vicinity of the junction between the neck portion and the funnel portion. The three cathodes are supported within three eyelets, respectively, and each of the three eyelets has a large-diameter upper portion facing the first grid electrode, a small-diameter lower portion for supporting the three cathodes and a funnel portion for connecting the large-diameter upper portion and the small-diameter lower portion, and being disposed within and bonded to a tubular cathode support at the large-diameter upper portion thereof by a bonding glass contained within the tubular cathode support. The bonding glass provides a protrusion beyond an upper open end of the tubular cathode support, and the protrusion is provided with a depressed step around a top edge thereof.
