The cathode ray tube or CRT, invented by German physicist Karl Ferdinand Braun How are streams of light or high speed electrons produced? Light is emitted by that material at the instant that electrons hit it. The released electrons form a beam within the tube due to the voltage difference applied across the two electrode How is the direction of electron beams altered? the direction of this beam is then altered either by a magnetic or electric field to trace over the inside surface of the phosphorescent screen (anode), covered by phosphorescent material (often transition metals or rare earths). What is raster? television sets and modern computer monitors, the entire front area of the tube is scanned systematically in a fixed pattern called a raster, and a picture is created by modulating the intensity of the electron beam with the received video signal (or another signal derived from it) What is the magnetic yoke and what is it used to accomplish? The beam in all modern TV sets is scanned with a magnetic field applied to the neck of the tube with a "magnetic yoke", a set of wire coils driven by electronic circuits. This usage of electromagnets to change the electron beam's original direction is known as "magnetic deflection". What is sticking? Why is leaded glass used for CRTs? The outer glass allows the light generated by the phosphor out of the monitor, but (for color tubes) it must block dangerous X-rays generated by high energy electron beam impacting the inside of the CRT face. For this reason, the glass is leaded (sometimes called "lead crystal"). Because of leaded glass, other shielding, and protective circuits designed to prevent the anode voltage from rising too high in case of malfuction, the X-ray emission of modern CRTs is well within safety limits Why are dust particles attracted to a television or computer monitor CRT displays accumulate static electrical charge on the screen, unless preventive measures are taken. This charge does not pose a safety hazard, but can lead to significant degradation of image quality through attraction of dust particles to the surface of the screen. Unless the display is regularly cleaned with a dry cloth or special cleaning tissue
