CRT INTRO
• The primary output device in a graphics system is a video monitor. The operation of
most video monitors is based on the standard cathode ray tube (CRT) design.
• The cathode ray tube is a vacuum tube containing an electron gun anda fluorescent
screen with internal or external means to accelerate beam used to create images in
the form of light emitted beam from the fluorescent screen
OVERVIEW
A CRT is an evacuated glass tube. An electron gun at the rear of the tube produces a
beam of electrons which is directed towards the front of the tube (screen). The inner side
of the screen is coated with phosphor substance which gives off light when it is stroked
by electrons. It is possible to control the point at which the electron beam strikes the
screen, and therefore the position of the dot upon the screen, by deflecting the electron
beam.

The beam is positioned on the screen by a deflection system of the cathode-ray-tube

consists of two pairs of parallel plates, referred to as the vertical and horizontal deflection
plates.The intensity of the beam is controlled by the intensity signal on the control grid.
OVERVIEW CONT.
The voltage applied to vertical plates controls the vertical deflection of the electron beam
and voltage applied to the horizontal deflection plates controls the horizontal deflection of
the electron beam. There are two techniques used for producing images on the CRT
screen: Vector scan / random scan and Raster scan.
When the phosphor is hit by the electron beam it absorbs energy and jumps to a higher
quantum-energy level. As it returns to its normal level it emits visible light i.e. it
phosphoresces. In the phosphors used in graphics devices the persistence of the
phosphorescence is typically 10-60 microseconds.
Before the human visual system can see a transient image it must be continually
redrawn (refreshed) at a rate higher than the critical fusion frequency of the human
visual system. To allow the human visual system to see a continuously refreshed image
without flicker the refresh rate has to be at least 60 c/s.
 ADVANTAGES
• The cathode ray tube can easily increase the monitor’s brightness by reflecting the
light
• The produce more colors
• The cathode ray tube monitors have lower price rate than the lcd display and plasma
display
• The contrast feature of the cathode ray tube monitor are considered highly excellent
DISADVANTAGES
• They have a big back and take up space on desk

• CRT emit a small amount of x-ray band radiation which can result in a health hazard

• They are heavy to pick and carry around.
