WHAT DOES CATHODE-RAY TUBE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cathode-ray tube

Cathode ray tube

The cathode ray tube is a vacuum tube containing one or more electron guns and a fluorescent screen used to view images. It has a means to accelerate and deflect the electron beam onto the screen to create the images. The images may represent electrical waveforms, pictures, radar targets or others. CRTs have also been used as memory devices, in which case the visible light emitted from the fluorescent material is not intended to have significant meaning to a visual observer. The CRT uses an evacuated glass envelope which is large, deep, fairly heavy, and relatively fragile. As a matter of safety, the face is typically made of thick lead glass so as to be highly shatter-resistant and to block most X-ray emissions, particularly if the CRT is used in a consumer product. CRTs have largely been superseded by newer display technologies such as LCD, plasma display, and OLED, which have lower manufacturing costs, power consumption, weight and bulk. The vacuum level inside the tube is high vacuum on the order of 0.01 Pa to 133 nPa.

Definition of cathode-ray tube in the English dictionary

The definition of cathode-ray tube in the dictionary is a valve in which a beam of high-energy electrons is focused onto a fluorescent screen to give a visible spot of light. The device, with appropriate deflection equipment, is used in television receivers, visual display units, oscilloscopes, etc CRT.
