CONSTITUTION: A convergence device 7 has two-in-a-set six-pole magnets 9a, 9b for static convergence correction, quadrupole magnets 10a, 10b, and bipolar magnets 11a, 11b for purity correction successively provided in electron beam emitting direction on the outer circumferential surface of a neck part 5 in order to focus the electron beams emitted from an electron gun 6 to one point on a phosphor screen 2. N-pole and S-pole are magnetized in positions mutually separated by 60 in the magnets 9a, 9b, and in positions mutually separated by 90 in the magnets 10a, 10b, respectively. The magnets 11a, 11b have divided poles in which N-pole and S-pole are halved in the radial direction of the neck part 5, respectively, and they are magnetized so that the angle formed by the respective divided poles of the same magnetic pole are 30-50 deg.. Thus, the magnetic field distribution of the magnets 11a, 11b is substantially uniformed, and no color shade is caused even when a pair of magnets are regulated so as to enhance color purity.

Next, an experimental example for confirming the effects of the present invention will be described. The color cathode ray tube of the embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the product of the present invention) has the configuration shown in FIGS.
Using a 17-inch color cathode ray tube having a neck outer diameter of 9.1 mm, the 6-pole magnet 9 of the convergence device 7 is used.
a and 9b are positions where the north pole and the south pole are alternately 60 degrees apart,
The 4-pole magnets 10a and 10b have 90% alternating N and S poles.
Two-pole magnets 11a and 11b were magnetized at positions apart from each other at an angle α of 30 to 50 degrees.

In order to compare with this, the angle α of the pair of two-pole magnets 11a and 11b shown in FIG. 3 was set to 60 °, and a conventional color cathode ray tube (hereinafter referred to as a conventional product) having the same specifications as above was also manufactured. .

Then, by adjusting the 6-pole magnets 9a and 9b, the spot movement amount of the electron beam on the screen 2 portion (hereinafter referred to as 6-pole component convergence amount) for correcting the color shift due to the spot movement amount is examined. As a result, the results shown in FIG. 4 were obtained. In FIG. 4, line A is the product of the present invention,
Lines B show the conventional products, respectively.

As is apparent from FIG. 4, the product of the present invention has a value of 6 even if the dipole magnetic field correction amount is changed in order to improve the color purity.
Since the polar component convergence amount is small, there is an effect of drastically reducing the color shift. For example, when the bipolar magnetic field correction amount is 3 mm, the 6-polar component convergence amount is stable at about 0.1 mm, and the 6-polar component convergence amount is about 0 mm. It can be seen that it is reduced to about 1/8 compared with the conventional product of 0.8 mm.

The reason for this is that, as is apparent from FIGS. 5 and 6, when the angle α of the two-pole magnets 11a and 11b is 40 degrees, the strength of the magnetic field component of the six poles and the amount of convergence of the six-pole components are minimum. Therefore, the two-pole magnets 11a, 11
The magnetic field distribution of b is uniform, and the two-pole magnet 11
When the angle α of a and 11b is 30 degrees to 50 degrees, the strength of the magnetic field component of the 6 poles is small, and the amount of convergence of the 6 pole components is almost the same.
This is because the magnetic field distribution of is almost uniform.

After adjusting the color misregistration, the spot shape of the electron beam was distorted, especially in the upper and lower portions of the screen, and the image quality became a problem in practical use.
