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.
