Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To minimize the deformation of an end part by the high temperature treatment of an electrode and provide an electron gun with little dispersion by forming a reinforcing bead extending to the edge of the electrode to increase the bending rigidity vertical to the long axial electrode surface in the end part of the electrode. SOLUTION: In a flat G2 electrode 3, three electron beam passing holes 3a, 3b, 3c are formed on the long axial central line X, and a pair of beads 3d, 3e having a length extending from one long axial edge 31 of this electrode to an edge 3k are formed on both sides thereof. Since the reinforcing beads 3d, 3e extending from one long axial edge 31 to the other edge 3k are provided with the three electron beam passing holes 3a, 3b, 3c between, the bending rigidity in the surface vertical to the G2 electrode 3 surface passing the central line X in the end parts 3f, 3g is increased. Therefore, deformation of the end parts 3f, 3g of the G2 electrode 3 in high temperature treatment is minimized, and the G2 electrode 3 can be sufficiently closely fitted to a spacer 5 in the assembling of an electron gun to minimize the dispersion of the space between the electrode 3 and the electrode opposed thereto.

By the way, in a conventional electron gun for a cathode ray tube,
Before assembling each electrode and fixing it with the bead glass 1, each electrode is subjected to a high-temperature treatment for degassing. When this high-temperature treatment is performed, the plate-shaped G2 electrode is particularly easily deformed. If the G2 electrode is deformed, the G12 electrode and the G23 spacer do not adhere sufficiently to the G2 electrode. The distance between the electrode and the electrode facing the electrode varies.
