Aerospace | A vacuum tube consisting essentially of an electron gun producing a concentrated electron beam (or cathode ray) which impinges on a phosphorescent coating on the back of a viewing face (or screen). The excitation of the phosphor produces light, the intensity of which is controlled by regulating the flow of electrons. Deflection of the beam is achieved either electromagnetically by currents in coils around the tube, or electrostatically by voltages on internal deflection plates.Abbreviation CRT. (references) |
Electrical Engineering | Signal-to-image converter tube in which a well defined and controllable beam of electrons is produced and directed on to a surface to give a visible or otherwise detectable display or effect. Source: European Union. (references) |
