Cathod Ray Tube

The document discusses the cathode ray tube, which uses an electron gun and fluorescent screen to display images. It has three main parts: the electron gun, deflecting plates, and fluorescent screen. The electron gun produces electrons that are steered by deflecting plates and cause the screen to glow, creating the image.

CATHODE RAY TUBE
• The Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) is a vacuum tube containing
an electron gun (a source of electrons or electron emitter) and
a fluorescent screen used to view images.
• It has a mean to accelerate and deflect the electron beam onto the
fluorescent screen to create the images.
• The image may represent Electrical waveforms in oscilloscope,
pictures (television, computer monitor), radar targets.
• CRTs have largely superseded by modern technologies such as,
LCD, LED, etc, which offer lower manufacturing and distribution
cost.
PRINCIPLE OF CRT
• The Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) is the device that displays
images upon a screen using electron beams.
• It is a vacuum sealed tube to avoid air resistance.
• The electrons are first created at the back of the CRT by
an electron gun.
• The electrons are shot off the gun at a high velocity and
travel through a magnetic field, which steers them in a
certain direction
• The electrons then pass through a filter (shadow
mask) and collide with a phosphor screen, to which
they transfer their energy and cause the screen to
glow.
• Through specific direction of these electron beams,
images are created and displayed on the screen.
CRT
THREE MAIN PARTS

• Electron gun
• Deflecting plates
• Fluorsecent screen
ELECTRON GUN
The electron gun produces the electron beam that
travels through the CRT.
The electron gun consists of
• cathode
• filament
• accelerating anode
FUNCTION OF CATHODE AND
ANODE
• The filament is insulated coil of tungsten located inside the cathode
• The current is applied to this coil to heat it.
• When the cathode is heated, the electrons on the cathode
released.
• The cathode creates an electron cloud (emits electrons) whose
electrons are extracted, accelerated and focused into an electron
beam.
• The anode serves only to provide the accelerating voltage for the
electrons and not as the electron collector.
DEFLECTING PLATES
• The CRT can use either electrostatic or magnetic
deflection. so that the beam of electrons can have its
direction altered, allowing the light spot to appear
anywhere on the face of the tube.
• The cathode-ray-tube deflection system is made up of two
pairs of parallel plates known as the vertical and
horizontal deflection plates.
• The plates are made up of copper or aluminium.
ELECTROSTATIC DEFLECTION
SYSTEM
• Due to this, strong electric field is produced
between the plates.
• When electron beam enters in this field, it is
deflected towards the plate which is positive.
• So the path of beam becomes parabolic.
• Then the beam comes out of this field in straight
line and strikes on the screen at a particular
point on the screen.
MAGNETIC DEFLECTION SYSTEM

• In this system, electron beam is deflected using


external magnetic field.
• To create alternating magnetic field two pairs of
deflection coils, known as yoke, are fitted on the neck
of CRT.
• The pair of vertical deflection coils is connected to y-
input of CRO
• The pair of horizontal deflection coils is connected to
internal sawtooth wave or external signal at x-input.
CRT SCREEN
• The CRT screen consists of two main parts: the phosphor screen
and the shadow mask.
• The phosphor screen turns the electron beam into light, and the
shadow mask organizes the beam on the screen.
• It contains millions of tiny red, green, and blue phosphor dots that
glow when struck by an electron beam that travels across the
screen to create a visible image.
• The electrons are negative and the screen gives a positive charge so
the screen glows.
PHOSPHOR PERSISTENCE
• The various phosphors are available depending upon the needs of the
measurement or display application.
• The brightness, color, and persistence of the illumination depends upon
the type of phosphor used on the CRT screen.
• Phosphors are available with persistence's ranging from less than one
microsecond to several seconds.
• For visual observation of brief transient events, a long persistence
phosphor may be desirable.
• For events which are fast and repetitive, or high frequency, a short-
persistence phosphor is generally preferable.
ADVANTAGES OF CRT
• The cathode rayed tube can easily increase the monitor’s
brightness by reflecting the light.
• They produce more colours.
• The Cathode Ray Tube monitors have lower price rate than the LCD
display or Plasma display.
• The quality of the image displayed on a Cathode Ray Tube is
superior to the LCD and Plasma monitors.
• The contrast features of the cathode ray tube monitor are
considered highly excellent.
DISADVANTAGES OF CRT
• The electromagnetic fields emitted by CRT monitors
constitute a health hazard to the functioning of living
cells.
• CRTs emit a small amount of X-ray band radiation which
can result in a health hazard.
• Constant refreshing of CRT monitors can result in
headache.
• CRTs operate at very high voltage which can overheat
system or result in an implosion
