Abstract

A color picture tube includes a screen and an improved inline gun for generating and directing three inline electron beams along separate paths toward the screen. The improved electron gun has an asymmetric beam-forming region and an asymmetric main focus lens. The asymmetry of the main focus lens is matched with the asymmetry of the beam-forming region to focus substantially all portions of each of the beams at the screen.
