Picture tube

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004298

A cathode ray tube (CRT) specifically designed to display images, primarily used in older televisions and computer monitors. It works by firing an electron beam at a phosphor-coated screen, causing it to glow and create pixels. Color picture tubes use three electron beams and a shadow mask to produce a full-color image.
