Abstract:
A color cathode-ray tube comprising a panel portion, a neck portion, a funnel portion connecting said panel and neck portions, a fluorescent layer formed on an inner surface of a face plate of said panel portion, a shadow mask disposed opposite to said fluorescent layer, an electron gun housed in said neck portion, and an internal magnetic shield disposed in said funnel portion, wherein said internal magnetic shield is formed in a substantially quadrangular pyramid-shape defined by creased lines and having a substantially rectangular first opening with a smaller diagonal dimension at one end adjacent to said electron gun and a substantially rectangular second opening with a larger diagonal dimension than said smaller diagonal dimension at the other end adjacent to said shadow mask, said internal magnetic shield having a long side wall including a long side of said first opening and a size adjustment side wall for said long side connecting to said long side wall, and having a short side wall including a short side of said first opening and a size adjusting side wall for said short side connecting to said short side wall, each of said creased lines of said internal magnetic shield being formed in such a manner that an end of an imaginary line extension of said creased line adjacent to said second opening is located on a projected plane parallel to said second opening at a point shifted by a predetermined length from the corresponding corner of said second opening in the direction of a side of said second opening, and a segment is made by connecting a predetermined point on a line connected between said end of the imaginary line extension and the corresponding corner of said first opening to the corresponding corner of said second opening so as to form a part of said creased line adjacent to said second opening, thereby adjusting an area ratio of side faces of said internal magnetic shield, and wherein said creased lines are bent outward at respective points proximate to said second opening and surfaces of said short side walls are bent outward in the same manner.
