A projection type cathode ray tube device includes a panel, a neck, a funnel connecting the panel to one end of the neck, and a stem closing the other end of the neck. An electron gun is housed in the neck for projecting an electron beam toward a phosphor screen on the panel. The neck includes a small-diameter neck portion disposed on its funnel side, a large-diameter neck portion disposed on its stem side, and a neck junction region connecting the small-diameter neck portion and the large-diameter neck portion. A deflection yoke is disposed in a vicinity of a transition region between the funnel and the small-diameter neck portion. A convergence yoke for generating a beam-convergence magnetic field is disposed to extend from the large-diameter neck portion and surround at least a portion of the neck junction region.
