9cathode Ray Tube

The document discusses Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) technology used in traditional computer monitors and televisions. CRTs create images by firing electrons from the back of a tube towards phosphorus on the front screen, which lights up to produce colors. Main CRT components include an electron gun, control electrode, focusing system, deflection yoke, and phosphorus-coated screen.

Cathode Ray Tube (CRT):

CRT stands for Cathode Ray Tube. CRT is a technology used in


traditional computer monitors and televisions. The image on CRT
display is created by firing electrons from the back of the tube of
phosphorus located towards the front of the screen.

Once the electron heats the phosphorus, they light up, and they are
projected on a screen. The color you view on the screen is produced by a
blend of red, blue and green light.
Components of CRT:

Main Components of CRT are:

1. Electron Gun: Electron gun consisting of a series of elements,


primarily a heating filament (heater) and a cathode. The electron gun
creates a source of electrons which are focused into a narrow beam
directed at the face of the CRT.

2. Control Electrode: It is used to turn the electron beam on and off.

3. Focusing system: It is used to create a clear picture by focusing the


electrons into a narrow beam.

4. Deflection Yoke: It is used to control the direction of the electron


beam. It creates an electric or magnetic field which will bend the
electron beam as it passes through the area. In a conventional CRT, the
yoke is linked to a sweep or scan generator. The deflection yoke which
is connected to the sweep generator creates a fluctuating electric or
magnetic potential.

5. Phosphorus-coated screen: The inside front surface of every CRT is


coated with phosphors. Phosphors glow when a high-energy electron
beam hits them. Phosphorescence is the term used to characterize the
light given off by a phosphor after it has been exposed to an electron
beam.
