Abstract

A color cathode ray tube has features to decrease mechanical stress due to internal pressure made by evacuation. The cathode ray tube includes a panel on an inner surface of which a phosphor screen is formed. A funnel is joined to the panel. An electron gun generates electron beams, and a deflection yoke is mounted within the funnel to deflect the electron beams. The panel satisfies a condition: L 1 +(L 2 −L 1 )×0.35≦L≦L 1 +(L 2 −L 1 )×0.45, and more preferably a condition: L 1 +(L 2 −L 1 )×0.35≦L<L 1 +(L 2 −L 1 )×0.45, wherein L 1 is a distance between an inner center P of said panel and a yoke line plane; L 2 is a distance between the inner center P of said panel and a neck line plane; and L is a distance between the inner center P of said panel and a reference line plane.
