         Application 08/962,567                                                     

              1. A shadow-mask type color cathode-ray tube comprising:              
              a face panel on which an image is displayed;                          
              a funnel connected to said face panel, said funnel and said           
         face panel forming a vacuum container;                                     
              electron guns for producing electron beams for red, green             
         and blue colors, said guns being horizontally arranged in line;            
              a deflection yoke provided around said funnel, said yoke              
         deflecting said electron beams;                                            
              a phosphor screen formed on an inner surface of said face             
         panel in said container;                                                   
              said screen having stripes of phosphor materials for red,             
         green and blue colors, said stripes being horizontally arranged            
         in said screen;                                                            
              a shadow mask fixed apart from said face panel and opposed            
         to said phosphor screen in said container;                                 
              said shadow mask having slots which selectively allow said            
         electron beams to arrive at said phosphor screen through said              
         mask, each of said slots having a vetically elongated shape; said          
         electron beams being scanned perpendicular to said slots;                  
              said slots being arranged horizontally at a fixed horizontal          
         pitch with respect to each other;                                          
              said slots being arranged vertically at a fixed vertical              
         pitch with respect to each other;                                          
              wherein at least two vertically adjacent ones of said slots           
         each have a bridge area therebetween, said bridge area serving as          
         an electron-beam stopping area;                                            
              wherein at least two horizontally adjacent ones of said               
         slots are vertically shifted a fixed distance relative to each             
         other, said fixed distance being equal to approximately a half of          
         said vertical pitch; and                                                   

                                         2
