  2. Beam-index tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam-index_tube

    In conventional black-and-white (B&W) televisions, the CRT screen has a uniform coating of phosphor that emits white light when struck by electrons.The beam from an electron gun at the back of the tube is deflected (most commonly) by the varying fields from magnetic coils so it may be directed at any point on the screen.

  3. Overscan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overscan

    Overscan is a behaviour in certain television sets in which part of the input picture is cut off by the visible bounds of the screen. It exists because cathode-ray tube (CRT) television sets from the 1930s to the early 2000s were highly variable in how the video image was positioned within the borders of the screen. It then became common ...

    Front View of 7JP4 Electrostatic Television Picture Tube. The 7JP4 is an early black and white or monochrome cathode-ray tube (also called picture tube and kinescope). It was a popular type used in late 1940s low cost and small table model televisions. The 7JP4 has a 7" diameter round screen which was often partially masked.

    Cathode ray tube, showing the yoke (copper coils and white plastic former) around the rear neck of the tube. A deflection yoke is a kind of magnetic lens, used in cathode ray tubes to scan the electron beam both vertically and horizontally over the whole screen. In a CRT television, the electron beam is moved in a raster scan on the screen. By ...

    For example, if your current TV is sitting on a stand, you'll need to make sure it's large enough — and solid enough to support the weight. (As noted above, an 85-inch TV can tip the scales at ...

  9. Vacuum fluorescent display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_fluorescent_display

    A VFD operates on the principle of cathodoluminescence, roughly similar to a cathode-ray tube, but operating at much lower voltages. Each tube in a VFD has a phosphor-coated carbon anode that is bombarded by electrons emitted from the cathode filament. [1] [2] In fact, each tube in a VFD is a triode vacuum tube because it also has a mesh ...
