Abstract
Abstract In an electron gun for use in a cathode ray tube of the class wherein a main electron lens system is constituted by a plurality of discrete electron lens systems, the plurality of electron lens systems are of the unipotential type and the intensity of the preceding lens system is made larger than that of the succeeding lens system.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
An electron gun in a cathode ray tube comprising a single gun monobeam electron source and a main electron lens combination aligned on the axis of said gun which includes first and second axially aligned independent electron lens systems having a common electrode therebetween, each independent electron lens system including three electrodes including said common electrode arranged in sequence on substantially the same axis with said common electrode being the last electrode of said first said lens system and the first electrode of the succeeding said second lens system, an intermediate electrode of said three electrodes in each said system having an applied voltage lower than that applied to the other electrodes of said electron lens system, and means for making the beam focusing power of said first of said electron lens systems closest to said source greater than that of succeeding lens systems more remote from said source.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
An electron gun in a cathode ray tube comprising a single gun monobeam electron source and a main electron lens combination aligned on the axis of said gun which includes first and second axially aligned independent electron lens systems having a common electrode therebetween, each independent electron lens system including three electrodes including said common electrode arranged in sequence on substantially the same axis with said common electrode being the last electrode of said first said lens system and the first electrode of the succeeding said second lens system, an intermediate electrode of said three electrodes in each said system having an applied voltage lower than that applied to the other electrodes of said electron lens system, and means for making the beam focusing power of said first of said electron lens systems closest to said source greater than that of succeeding lens systems more remote from said source.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
The electron gun according to claim 1, wherein the length of said intermediate electrode belonging to said one of said electron lens systems is made longer than that of the corresponding intermediate electrode belonging the said succeeding electron lens system.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
The electron gun according to claim 1, wherein the spacing of electrodes in the said first electron lens system is larger than that between the electrodes in the other said electron lens systems.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
The electron gun according to claim 1 wherein said main electron lens system comprises said first and second electron lens systems and including a third such independent lens system in axial alignment succeeding said pair of independent electron lens systems.
