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:
- Beam penetration method
- Shadow mask method
- Beam penetration method
- Display color pictures
- Two layers of phosphors, usually red and green
- A beam of slow electrons excites the outer red layer
- Fast electron penetrates through the red layer and
excites the inner green layer - An intermediate beam speeds, combinations of red and green light
- Shadow mask method
- They produce a wider range of colors
- Has three phosphor color dots at each pixel position
- One emits red light, another emits green light, and the third emits a blue light
- 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.
- 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.
