Abstract

The present invention provides a color cathode ray tube having a shadow mask for selecting colors, wherein the shadow mask satisfies the relation: 5.5 < Rh ( H 2 ) < 8.0 , where Rh is a mean curvature radius in the direction of the long axis of the shadow mask, H is a distance between both ends in a direction of a long axis of an effective surface of the shadow mask, and a mean curvature radius in the direction of the long axis satisfies the condition: Rh = ( H 2 ) 2 + Zh 2 2 * Zh where Zh is a recess amount in a direction of a tube axis at an end of the long axis of the effective surface with respect to a center of the effective surface.

Claims (97)
