The invention provides a CRT having a funnel sealed at one end to a faceplate panel with a luminescent screen on an interior surface thereof, a mask assembly supported within the CRT and in proximity to the screen, the faceplate panel having a plurality of peripheral sidewalls each having an inside surface. The CRT also includes a plurality of studs, with at least one stud affixed in each of the corners of inside surface of the sidewalls. A plurality of springs engage the corner studs, to support the mask assembly within the CRT; at least one additional stud is affixed along the inside surface of one sidewall and a shim is attached around the additional stud. On the mask assembly at least one bracket is positioned to have a slot into which the shim is loosely engaged, thereby mitigating motion in a plane parallel to the interior sidewall.

A high aspect ratio cathode-ray tube (CRT) including a luminescent screen (), an aperture mask () configured for transverse scan, an electron gun () and a magnetic deflection yoke (). The electron gun () and the magnetic deflection yoke () are positioned so that the electron beams generated in the gun () scan a rectangular raster across the luminescent screen parallel to the tube minor axis (tranverse scan) to improve the current requirements for the magnetic deflection yoke ().

A microphonic damper clip for mounting to the border of a tension mask. The damper clip is formed of two halves with each half having a first leg and an integral second leg. The free end of one of the legs from each of the two halves of the damper clip are inserted into an aperture disposed on the border of the tension mask. At least one free end of each corresponding leg is then attached to one another to form a damper clip.

A color picture tube ( ) has a tensioned mask ( ) supported by a support frame ( ) mounted within the tube. The mask has a significantly lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the frame. Intermediate members ( ) are located between the mask and the frame. The intermediate members are of a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to that of the mask. The frame has elongated tabs ( ) extending therefrom. Each of the tabs is attached at one end thereof to the remaining portion of the frame. The distal ends of the tabs are welded to the intermediate members.

The present invention provides a tension mask having a frequency distribution with improved vibration damping. The tension mask includes a center portion between two edge portions. The tension mask also has a parabolic frequency distribution between the edge portions whereby the center portion has a central frequency distribution value and the edge portions have a relatively lower peripheral frequency distribution value characterized in that the range of variation between the center and edge portions frequency distribution value is in the closed interval of about 8 Hz12 Hz

An apparatus and method for retaining a damper wire used in a cathode ray tube to reduce vibration in the grill type mask assembly of a cathode ray tube. The damper wire is retained across a grill type mask by a bimetal damper spring having a first end and an opposing second end. The second end is coupled to the frame of the grill type mask assembly. A tab located proximate the first end of the damper spring is adapted to accept the damper wire that traverses the mask.

The present invention provides an improvement in a color picture tube having a tension mask supported by a support frame mounted within the tube. The mask includes an active apertured portion formed by a plurality of parallel vertically extending strands, between which are elongated operational apertures through which electron beams pass during operation of the tube. Top and bottom border portions, outside the active apertured portion of the mask, have additional apertures therein that are aligned with the longitudinal centerlines of the strands.
