 Cathode ray tube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cathode rays exist in the form of streams of high speed electrons emitted from the heating of cathode inside a vacuum tube.
The earliest version of the CRT was a cold-cathode diode, a modification of the Crookes tube with a phosphor-coated screen, sometimes called a Braun tube.
The tube for this kind of use is longer and narrower, and deflection is done by applying an electrical field via deflection plates built into the tube's neck.

 Cathode ray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cathode rays propagate in a straight line in the absence of external influences, but are deflected by electric or magnetic fields (which can be produced by placing high-voltage electrodes or magnets outside the vacuum tube - this explains the effect of magnets on a TV screen).
Cathode rays were first produced by Geissler tubes.
Cathode rays are streams of electrons observed in vacuum tubes, i.e.

 Mysterious Rays
But when the German physicist Heinrich Hertz passed the rays through an electric field created by metal plates inside a cathode ray tube, the rays were not deflected in the way that would be expected of electrically charged particles.
Cathode rays are not only material particles, he suggested, but in fact the building blocks of the atom: they are the long-sought basic unit of all matter in the universe.
When Lenard passed cathode rays through a metal foil and measured how far they traveled through various gases, he concluded that if these were particles, they had to be very small.

 Cathode-ray tube
The cathode-ray tube (CRT) is one of the main elements of an oscilloscope.
CRT consists of the glass bulb evacuated to a high vacuum, the cathode (a source of electrons), cathode heater, electrodes for brightness and focus control, several accelerating anodes, the pairs of horizontal and vertical capacitor plates deviating the electron beam, and fluorescing screen.
The tubes are produced with electrostatic and electromagnetic control, where electrostatic or magnetic fields deviate the electron beam respectively.

 MONTEST-LCD monitor tester, Video Primer, Cathode Ray Tube CRT
Located closest to the heated cathode is a round disc, approximately the size and the shape of a dime with a small hole in the center.
It is ironic that although the vacuum tube industry has been reduced to a mere shadow of what it was in the early days of electronics, the CRT, the sole volume survivor of the vacuum tube days, appears as though it will be with us for many years to come.
Because of its closeness to the cathode, this control grid, when charged to a small (3-5 volt) negative potential, will deflect electrons back toward the cathode and prevent the beam from entering the focus and accelerating subsystem.

The cathode-ray tube oscilloscope is an experiment that I had thought was beyond the scope of these pages, mainly because of the cost and difficulty of obtaining the components.
The common picture tube is a CRT with magnetic focussing and deflection, often containing three electron beams that are directed to separate phosphor spots to display different colors, and which are modulated to display different intensities.
The portion of the tube from the deflecting plates to the screen is accessible, so that a solenoid can be slipped over the end of the tube for possible experiments, such as the determination of e/m.

CATHODE-RAY TUBE [cathode-ray tube] special-purpose electron tube in which electrons are accelerated by high-voltage anodes, formed into a beam by focusing electrodes, and projected toward a phosphorescent screen that forms one face of the tube.
Cathode-ray tubes are used in television sets, computer monitors, automated teller machines, oscilloscopes, and radar displays.

 CATHODE RAY TUBE MANUFACTURING AND RECYCLING:
The CRT glass industry’s ability to limit the use of lead in the manufacturer of new CRTs is a significant contribution to the electronic industry’s overall effort to reduce the use of substances of concern, and therefore the environmental impact of electronics manufacturing and the end-of-life electronics recycling and disposal.
CRT glass manufacturers have a high degree of confidence as to the composition of this recycled cullet since they know the glass was produced by their facility.
The average CRT for the time period 1995 to 2000, including televisions and monitors, is an 18.63-inch CRT with a lead content that varies from 2.14 lbs to 2.63 lbs.

However, tiring of the fusty confines of academia in the roaring 1920s, CRT began what was to prove a lifelong affair with showbiz in the form of television.
In its youth, CRT devoted its considerable energies to the pursuit of empirical scientific knowledge, primarily acting as an oscilloscope to give electric signals a visible representation.
Before that relationship could be consummated, CRT was called up to military service at the outbreak of hostilities in 1939.

With the help of his assistant Everett, he constructed special cathode ray tubes that enabled him to study how the paths of the rays are affected by electric and magnetic fields.
'JJ' Thomson invented the cathode ray tube and with this, was able in 1899 to prove the existence of the first sub-atomic particle--the electron.
But he certainly was not and two years later he went further and suggested that cathode rays were indeed particles, each with a definite charge and mass (his values for both turned out to be quite accurate).

 Slimmer tube TVs to challenge flat panels Tech News on ZDNet
Executives at a display conference here said Thursday that significantly thinner CRT (cathode ray tube) displays will be available next year and are expected to be less expensive than trendy flat panels that use newer technologies such as LCD--liquid crystal display--and plasma displays.
LG.Philips Displays is already making the tubes for the thin models in limited quantities and expects thin CRT televisions to be available in the United States starting in late 2005.
Despite the growth of flat-panel televisions based on new technologies such as LCD and plasma, CRT is still expected to dominate the market in the years to come.
