    (54) Color cathode-ray tube apparatus


    (57) In an electron gun assembly, electron (BR, BG, BB) beams emitted from cathodes (KR, KG, KB) are focused in first cross-over (CO1) and accelerated and controlled by grids (G1, G2, G3) along three axes (ZR, ZG, ZB) arranged in-line. The controlled electron beams (BR, BG, BB) are weakly converged by unipotential lenses (ELS) and are converged in a vertical plane by a common single electron lens (VL1) having a lens power which is varied in accordance with a horizontal or vertical deflection of the electron beams (BR, BG, BB). The converged elec­tron beams (BR, BG, BB) form second cross-over on the axes (ZR, ZG, ZB) which are shifted along the axes (ZR, ZG, ZB) are diverged from the second cross-overs (ZR, ZG, ZB). The diverged electron beams (BR, BG, BB) are further focused and converged onto a screen (SCN) by a main lens (LEL).
