Study Notes
Raster Scan Display Technology
- A pixel is the smallest unit of a raster scan display technology, which can be turned on or off to create images on the screen.
Cathode Ray Tube (CRT)
- The Direct View Storage Tube (DVST) from Tektronix is a type of CRT device.
- The limitation of raster scan display technology is that it can display a fixed number of pixels, resulting in a limited resolution.
- The electron gun produces a narrow beam of high-velocity electrons in a CRT.
- The intensity of the electron beam is controlled by the electron gun, which regulates the number of electrons emitted.
- The intensity of the electron beam can also be controlled by applying a voltage to the control grid.
- A high negative voltage applied to the control grid reduces the number of electrons emitted, decreasing the beam's intensity.
- The focusing system in a CRT is used to focus the electron beam into a sharp point.
- The phosphor screen in a CRT converts the energy of the electron beam into visible light, creating images on the screen.
- The deflection system in a CRT is used to deflect the electron beam horizontally and vertically to create images on the screen.
- The deflection system uses electric or magnetic fields to deflect the electron beam.
Color CRT
- Different color shades are produced in a color CRT by using a combination of red, green, and blue phosphors, which emit light of different colors when excited by the electron beam.
Direct View Storage Tube (DVST)
- The DVST brought the improvement of being able to store and display images for a long time without fading.
Refresh Buffer
- A refresh buffer in a raster scan display technology controls the rate at which the image is refreshed on the screen.
Electron Gun
- The electron gun controls the intensity of the electron beam by regulating the number of electrons emitted.
CRT Components
- The electron beam passes through the aperture grille in a CRT.
- The intensity of the electron beam is controlled by the electron gun and the control grid in a CRT.
