Abstract
A cathode ray tube with a central axis includes a panel with an inner phosphor screen and a rear portion. A funnel is connected to the rear portion of the panel. The funnel sequentially has a body with a large-sized end and a small-sized end, and a cone portion with a large-sized end and a small-sized end. The large-sized end of the body is sealed to the rear portion of the panel. The small-sized end of the body meets the large-sized end of the cone portion at a point. The meeting point of the body and the cone portion becomes an inflection point of the funnel. The cone portion has a sectional shape varying from a circle to a non-circle like a rectangle while proceeding from the small sized end to the large sized end such that the cone portion is provided with a curvature radius Rh in the horizontal axis direction, a curvature radius Rv in the vertical axis direction, and a curvature radius Rd in the diagonal axis direction. The horizontal, vertical and diagonal curvature radii Rh, Rv and Rd of the cone portion of the funnel satisfy the following condition: Rh<Rv<Rd.
