ABSTRACT:
A front assembly for a color cathode ray tube is disclosed that includes a glass faceplate that has one its inner surface a centrally disposed phosphor screen. A metal foil shadow mask is mounted in tension on a mask-support structure located on opposed sides of the screen. The mask comprises a series of parallel strips separated by slits, the strips being coupled by widely spaced ties. The mask according to the invention has between the strips one or more false ties extending partially between but not interconnecting adjacent strips. The screen may also have spaced ties interconnecting the grille lines with a periodicity much smaller than that of the mask ties and below an observer's resolution threshold at normal viewing distances. An associated manufacturing process is also described.
