Explain color CRT moni tors ?

Detailed Explanation
  • A CRT monitor displays color pictures by using a combination of phosphors that emit different colored light.
  • By combining the emitted light from the different phosphors, a range of colors can be generated.
  • Two techniques:
  1. Beam penetration method
  2. Shadow mask method
  • Beam penetration method
  1. Display color pictures
  2. Two layers of phosphors, usually red and green
  3. A beam of slow electrons excites the outer red layer
  4. Fast electron penetrates through the red layer and
    excites the inner green layer
  5. An intermediate beam speeds, combinations of red and green light
  • Shadow mask method
  1. They produce a wider range of colors
  2. Has three phosphor color dots at each pixel position
  3. One emits red light, another emits green light, and the third emits a blue light
  4. The three beams are deflected and focused as a group on to the shadow mask, which contains a series of holes aligned with a phosphor dot patterns.
  5. When the three beams passes through a hole in the
    shadow mask, they activate a dot triangle, which
    appears as a small color spot on the screen.
