COLOR DISPLAY DEVICE WITH A DEFLECTION-DEPENDENT DISTANCE BETWEEN OUTER BEAMS

摘要

A color display device comprises an electron gun, a display screen and a flat color selection electrode as well as a deflection means. The distance between the electron beams is dynamically varied, whereby the distance in the deflection space decreases as the beams are deflected in at least one direction. The reduction of the distance enables the distance between the color selection electrode and the display screen to be increased in that direction. As a result, the curvature of the inner surface of the color selection electrode may be increased, which has a positive effect on the strength and doming behavior of the color selection electrode. This is achieved by applying a single dynamic potential to a first and second dynamic potential electrode.
