Abstract

A cathode ray tube apparatus comprises three cathodes arranged in line with each other in a first direction for emission of respective electron beams therefrom, a focusing electrode having first to third apertures defined therein for the passage of the respective electron beams therethrough, a quadrupole electrode structure including first to third quadrupole electrodes one for each electron beam, each of the quadrupole electrode being comprised of a pair of horizontal electrode pieces spaced a predetermined distance from each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and positioned upwardly and downwardly, respectively, with respect to the associated electron beam, and a pair of vertical electrode pieces spaced a predetermined distance from each other in a direction aligned with the first direction and positioned leftwards and rightwards with respect to such associated electron beam, and a power source circuit for applying a predetermined voltage to the quadrupole electrode structure.
