Electron gun and color cathode-ray tube utilizing the same

Abstract

A color cathode-ray tube includes a housing including a panel having a phosphor screen on its inside and a funnel fastened to the panel, the funnel including a neck portion; an electron gun housed in the neck portion and emitting electron beams for exciting the phosphor screen and forming an image, the electron gun including cathodes arranged in line, electrodes sequentially disposed from the cathodes and having electron beam passages for passing three electron beams, a shield cup coupled to a last electrode among the electrodes and provided with three electron beam passages in line, and magnetic pieces disposed on the shield cup or one or more electrodes so that the center of a coma correction portion composed of the magnetic pieces is positioned above and below the line and in spaces between the center of a central electron beam passage and the centers of side electron beam passages; and a deflection yoke disposed on the neck and cone portions of the funnel, the deflection yoke deflecting electron beams emitted from the electron gun to land on positions on the phosphor screen.
