Abstract
A color cathode ray tube has a color selection electrode structure made by stretching and welding a color selection electrode having a plurality of apertures to a frame while applying tension in the minor axis direction. A non-perforated region gradually becomes wider from a center portion to both end portions in the minor axis direction. Thus, sufficient tension is applied in the peripheral portion of the perforated region in the major axis direction of the color selection electrode, so that vibrations do not occur easily and the color selection electrode does not warp. Therefore, a color cathode ray tube with excellent color purity can be obtained.
