Abstract

A cathode ray tube has a phosphor screen and an electron gun. The electron gun includes an electron beam generating section and an electron beam focusing section for focusing an electron beam from the electron beam generating section onto the phosphor screen. The electron beam generating section and the electron beam focusing section are mounted in predetermined spaced relationship on plural insulator support rods. The electron beam focusing section includes at least one compound electrode formed of a first electrode member, a second electrode member and a plate-like electrode member sandwiched therebetween. The plate-like electrode member is fabricated from a material thicker than materials from which the first and second electrode members are fabricated. The plate-like electrode member is laser-welded to the first and second electrode members at points of edges of the first and second electrode members. The points of edges of the first and second electrode members are positioned so as not to face mounting tabs of the plate-like electrode member embedded in the insulator support rods, and edges of the plate-like electrode member extend by an approximately equal distance outwardly beyond the points of edges of the first and second electrode members welded to the plate-like electrode member.
