- The basic operation of these tubes is similar to that in television sets.
- In CRT display CRT is a specialised vacuum tube in which images are produced when electron beam strikes a phosphor surface.
- CRT monitor contains cathode, control grid, acceleration anode, deflection plates & phosphor coated screen.
- Cathode: the cathode is heated by filament and produced high speed & large amount of electrons.
- Control Grid: used to control the brightness of the screen. It controls the number of electrons.
- Accelerating anodes: they are with focusing lens are applied with positive electrons.
- Horizontal deflection plate: moves electron side by side. Vertical deflection: moves electrons up & down.
- Screen: contains millions of tiny red, green, blue phosphor dot that glow when struck by electron beam that travels across screen to create a visible image.
ADVANTAGES OF CRT DISPLAY –
- Produce more colours.
- Price is lower than LCD & Plasma.
