Abstract:
1. A cathode ray tube, comprising: a vacuum envelope equipped with an electron gun and including a panel component which has a fluorescent screen formed on a inner surface; and a deflection yoke disposed around the outer periphery of the vacuum envelope, for deflecting electron beams emitted from the electron gun, wherein the vacuum envelope includes a neck component in which the electron gun is installed, and a cone component corresponding to the position where the deflection yoke is disposed, the cross sectional shape of the cone component in a direction perpendicular to the tube axis of the cathode ray tube includes a non-circular cross sectional shape having its maximum diameter in a direction other than those of the major and minor axes of the panel, the screen aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the horizontal diameter to the vertical diameter of the fluorescent screen, is termed M:N, in a coordinate system in which the origin is a point on the tube axis and the horizontal axis and vertical axis intersect at right angles, LA is the radius of the outer surface of the cone component on the horizontal axis, SA is the radius on the vertical axis, and θ is the angle formed by the horizontal axis and the axis in the direction of the maximum diameter on the inner surface of the cone component, and when values of LA and SA are LA(Z) and SA(Z) when the position Z on the tube axis, using as its origin a reference line position that serves as a reference for a deflection angle, is within a range of −30 mm≦Z≦10 mm, a portion is included such that the angle θ and the values of M, N, LA(Z), and SA(Z) satisfy the following relational formula
