Abstract

A color selection apparatus for a cathode ray tube includes a mask bearing a shape with short and long axes, and a frame combined with the mask. The mask is fitted to the frame while being tensioned either in the long axis direction or in the short axis direction. The mask has a plurality of strips spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, a plurality of real bridges disposed between the neighboring strips with a predetermined pitch while defining beam-guide holes, and one or more dummy bridges placed within each beam-guide hole while being extended from the strips in at least one direction. In any one reference column of m=0 and the other neighboring columns of m±n (n is a natural number), the real bridges arranged at the reference column are placed at lines different from the real bridges arranged at the columns of at least m±2 in the long axis direction.
