                                     BACKGROUND                                       
          The claims                                                                  
               Appellants’ Claim 1 is illustrative of the invention                   
          involved in the present appeal:                                             
                         1.   A CRT display device comprising:                        
                         a CRT (cathode-ray tube) which includes a shadow             
                    mask, electron beam projection means, and a glass tube            
                    with said shadow mask and said electron beam projection           
                    means built therein;                                              
                         said glass tube including a tube face which is               
                    irradiated with an electron beam passed through said              
                    shadow mask, thereby displaying a picture on said tube            
                    face;                                                             
                         said shadow mask being arranged inside said glass            
                    tube;                                                             
                         a housing in which said glass tube is disposed and           
                    which includes a ground terminal and an opening through           
                    which said tube face projects; and                                
                         shield means connected to said ground terminal and           
                    arranged so as to confront that part of said CRT                  
                    display device which extends from a peripheral edge of            
                    said shadow mask to a peripheral edge of said tube face           
                    of said CRT, so as to cover at least said part, said              
                    shield means being made of a conductive material and              
                    being arranged outside said glass tube.                           
          The rejections
