<p>An improved electron gun support structure and method provides for the firm mounting of an electron gun in the neck of a cathode ray tube. Manufacturing assembly of the gun is simplified and the yield is increased. Further, the improved structure promotes the establishment and maintenance of coincident alignment of the gun with the tube central axis, and improves rotational alignment. The gun support structure includes a plate mounted adjacent the base of the tube, which plate may carry or support electrical conductors serving as sections of a network of electrical interconnections between lead-in pins in the base and electrically excited gun components. The plate may also act as a shield against arc-inducing cathode sublimation deposits.</p> |
