Abstract:
A cathode-ray tube including a glass envelope having a forward portion terminating in a viewing screen, a center portion, and a rear portion including an electron-gun assembly having at least one focusing lens therein. A first external conductive coating is on the forward portion of the envelope, and a second conductive coating spaced from the first conductive coating is on the rear portion of the envelope at least over the focusing lens. A longitudinal strip of a third external conductive coating on the center portion of the envelope connects the first and second conductive coatings.
