Abstract

To improve the trichromatic cathode tube shielding effect given by the frame-mask set and by a shielding material made with material of low magnetic permeability, the external conductors of a de-magnetization coil with two loops are made to pass in front of the fastening lugs and not behind the frit plane as was the case before, and the position of the internal conductors is set to obtain the best compromise.
