          Application 08/064,639                                                      



          being obliquely formed in the boundary between two portions                 
          for the purpose for reducing the gap between the G2 electrode               
          and the G3 electrode in order  to improve the focusing perfor-              
          mance without deteriorating the breakdown voltage characteris-              
          tics.                                                                       
                    Independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                     
                    1.  A cathode-ray tube which has an electron gun                  
          that includes a one piece electrode plate, wherein said one                 
          piece                                                                       
          electrode plate has a plurality of beam passage holes and bead              
          supports, a portion having said beam passage holes and a                    
          portion having said bead supports are formed as a one piece                 
          structure, said two portions have different thicknesses and                 
          steps having inclined and continuous walls between said two                 
          portions.                                                                   
                    The examiner does not rely on any references.                     
                    Claims 1, 3 and 4 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.                  
          § 103 as being unpatentable over Appellants' admitted prior                 
          art.                                                                        









                                          3
