Abstract
A color cathode ray tube is provided having a shadow mask or screen designed to an optimum state or whose panel's light absorption coefficient is set to an optimum value even if the panel has a high wedge ratio, thereby obtaining excellent bright uniformity characteristics. The color cathode ray tube includes a panel with a wedge ratio of more than 170%; a screen onto which electronic beams are scanned and on which fluorescent dots coated with RGB fluorescent materials and a black matrix layer filled with a black coating material throughout all the regions except for the fluorescent dots are formed; and a shadow mask on which a plurality of slots are arranged corresponding to the fluorescent dots, wherein the dot diameter at the corner portion of a screen is larger than that at the center portion by about 100-127%, the slot width at the corner portion of a shadow mask is larger than that at the center portion by about 105-133%. Accordingly, even though the wedge ratio is more than 170%, more than 50% bright uniformity (BU) characteristics are assured, and a tint glass can be used in fabricating a panel, thereby reducing the fabrication cost and weight of the color cathode ray tube.
