Abstract

A color cathode-ray tube, and a method for manufacturing this color cathode-ray tube capable of reducing light/dark line patterns produced while the color cathode-ray tube is operated. Exposing light which has passed through a correction lens made of a continuous lens and a discontinuous lens is irradiated onto a photosensitive film of an inner surface of a face panel of the color cathode-ray tube via a shadow mask so as to expose this photosensitive film, and then while using the exposed photosensitive film as a mask, fluorescent dot patterns are formed on a surface of the face panel. The correction lens having a discontinuous plane owns a plurality of light incident planes, a light projection plane for projecting the light entered into the light incident planes outside this light projection plane, and a plurality of level difference planes arranged between the light incident planes located adjacent to each other. The plural light incident planes are arranged in a matrix form, and enters therein light emitted from an exposing light source, and also refracts the entered light along a desirable direction. Then, the plural level difference planes are provided in such a manner that tw…
