Shadow mask, and method of manufacturing the same

摘要

An ingot of an Invar alloy is rolled in one direction into a plate, a number of slot holes are formed in this plate, and the plate is pressed into a curved form, thus providing a shadow mask of a color CRT. The slot holes of this shadow mask have longitudinal axes extending substantially at right angles to the rolling direction of the plate. The holes maintain their shapes after the plate has been pressed.
