The vibration of a mask degrades the color purity in CRT Therefore, a damping wire is put into contact with the mask to reduce the vibration in perfectly flat CRT. In this study, we analyzed the vibration of the mask contacting with the damping wire using FEM. First we calculated the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the mask by modal analysis, and compared them with the measured results to confirm our finite element model. The modal analysis of the wire was also performed to investigate resonance with the mask. Finally, the transient dynamic analysis of the mask contacting with the wire was performed. The vibration of the mask was measured to confirm our analysis, and the results are in good agreement with the analysis.
