Abstract

A method and apparatus for improving magnetic shielding in mask-frame-assemblies. The system includes providing a cathode ray tube, a mask frame assembly disposed within the cathode ray tube and at least one magnetic shield disposed on the edge of the mask frame assembly. These magnetic shields provide shielding for the horizontal component of the terrestrial magnetic field and thus reduces distortion in the picture displayed on the tube.
