Claims
- 1. A color picture tube, comprising:an electron gun radiating an electron beam; a panel having a phosphor layer which is impinged by the electron beam radiated from the electron guy; a shadow mask disposed in an opposite relation to the phosphor layer with a predetermined spacing and possessing a plurality of fine holes or slits for transmitting the electron beam; a mask frame solidly fixed to the shadow mask; and a frame holder having a thermal deformation portion composed of a thermal deformation member and an elastic portion, one edge of the elastic portion of the frame holder being fixed to the panel, the other edge of the elastic portion being fixed to one edge of the thermal deformation portion of the frame holder, and the other edge of the thermal deformation portion being fixed to the mask frame, wherein the thermal deformation member comprises a high thermal expansion member composed of an Fe—Ni—Cr based alloy, a low thermal expansion member composed of an Fe—Ni based alloy, and an intermediary member which is interposed between the high thermal expansion member and the low thermal expansion member and is substantially composed of a kind of metal selected from a group of Fe, Al and Cu, and wherein a plate thickness ratio between the high thermal expansion member and the low thermal expansion member is in the range from 55:45 to 45:55, and a plate thickness of the intermediary member does not exceed 80% of a total plate thickness of the high thermal expansion member, the intermediary member, and the low thermal expansion member.
- 2. The color picture tube as set forth in claim 1 wherein the plate thickness of the intermediary member is in the range from 30 to 60% of the total plate thickness.
- 3. The color picture tube as set forth in claim 1 wherein, when a thermal expansion coefficient of the high thermal expansion member is α1 and a thermal expansion coefficient of the low thermal expansion member is α2, the intermediary member possesses a thermal expansion coefficient α3, which satisfies α1>α3>α2.
- 4. The color picture tube as set forth in claim 1, wherein the intermediary member consists of 0.3 weight % or less of C, 0.05 weight % or less of P, 0.05 weight % or less of S, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities.
- 5. The color picture tube as set forth in claim 1 wherein the Fe—Ni—Cr based alloy consists essentially of from 15 to 30 weight % of Ni and from 2 to 10 weight % of Cr, and the balance of Fe, and the Fe—Ni based alloy consists essentially of from 30 to 50 weight % of Ni and the balance of Fe.
