Abstract:
1. Cathode-ray tube in the form of a glass envelope comprising a front face inside which is a luminescent screen, the said front face being sealed to a funnel-shaped part, a color selection electrode placed so as to face the luminescent screen and held under tension by an approximately rectangular frame having a first pair of long sides and a second pair of short sides, the color selection electrode being fixed under tension to the first pair of long sides, edges of the frame which constitute the second pair of short sides extending towards the screen and lying beneath the surface of the color section electrode, the edges of the second pair of short sides and the surface of the color selection electrode have an open space therebetween, and a main magnetic screen fixed to the frame and extending to the rear of the funnel-shaped part of an envelope of the cathode-ray tube, wherein the cathode-ray tube includes complementary means for making a screen against the Earth's magnetic field, these means being placed so as to cover, at least partially, the open space between the edges of the second pair of short sides and the surface of the color selection electrode.
