A cathode ray tube includes a panel having a front screen portion on which a phosphor screen is formed and a panel flange formed on an edge of the front screen portion; a funnel connected to the panel flange; a deflection yoke disposed around the funnel; a neck connected to the funnel, an electron gun disposed in the neck; a color selection apparatus for selecting electron beams emitted from the electron gun and allowing the selected electron beams to land on corresponding phosphors, the color selection apparatus including a frame having a pair of supporting members disposed at a predetermined distance from each other in parallel and a pair of elastic members fixed on both ends of the supporting members to correspond to the lateral sides of the mask; and a shield apparatus for shielding geomagnetism, the shield apparatus being mounted on a circumference of the frame of the color selection apparatus and extended toward the neck. The shield apparatus includes disconnection parts defined corresponding to the corners of the frame, the shield apparatus being extended toward the phosphor screen over one of longitudinal and lateral sidewalls of the frame.
