Abstract

A color cathode-ray tube apparatus comprising a video signal generator, a delay circuit, an electron gun assembly, a deflection yoke, a shadow mask, and a phosphor screen. The signal generator generates three video signals simultaneously. The delay circuit delays the first and second video signals with respect to the third video signal. The screen has phosphor elements regularly arranged. The electron gun assembly generates three electron beams at different times, in response to the three signals output by the delay means. These beams are applied to the phosphor screen, and the phosphor elements of the screen emit red light, green light and blue light. Any three electron beams the gun assembly emits simultaneously form three beam spots on the screen. These spots overlap for a distance longer than half the horizontal diameter of a beam spot formed by an electron beam of the greatest current which the gun assembly can generate. The shadow mask, located between the phosphor screen and the gun assembly, controls the beams, making them land at desired positions on the phosphor screen. The deflection yoke deflects the beams in the horizontal and vertical directions, such that the electro…
