Abstract
In the manufacturing process of a color display tube ( ), the display window ( ) is assembled with the funnel shaped part ( ) in a furnace by subjecting them to a heat treatment. This heat treatment can lead to deformation of the color selection electrode ( ), because in color display tubes ( ) with an invar shadow mask ( ), the diaphragm parts ( ) are made from invar as well, while the corner sections ( ) are made from iron in order to obtain enough stiffness. The difference in expansion coefficient between invar and iron leads to shearing of the welds ( ) that connect the diaphragm parts ( ) to the corner section ( ). To overcome this problem the invention proposes to provide the diaphragm parts ( ) with slits ( ) or impressions ( ), which are arranged so that no stress occurs between the spot welds ( ) when the color selection electrode ( ) is heated.
