Cathode ray tubes use an electron beam generated from a cathode in a vacuum tube. The low pressure vacuum environment prevents electrons from interacting with air molecules. Electrons are emitted from a heated cathode and accelerated toward the anode, creating an electric field that propels the electrons toward a fluorescent screen. When electrons hit the screen, the impacted area glows, allowing the screen to display an image. Control grids and deflection plates are used to control the electron beam and position where it strikes the screen.

The cathode ray tubes use an electron beam, that is also called an cathode ray, because

it originates from the cathode (negatively charged electrode or electricity conductor) of


an vacuum light bulb.
The inside of such a tube has a very small pressure of 0.01Pa or less an so "simulates"
a high vacuum of space. If it wasn't like that then the electrons would interact with the
air molecules and so the beam would be scattered around.

An cathode ray tube is build like that:

To make the fluorescent screen "display" something the following needs to be done:

1. The cathode is heated up to a high temperature from the boiler and the
electrons "evaporate" from the cathode surface.
2. The acceleration anode has a small cut in the center so that the electrons can
pass through and also has a high positive potential of 1 up to 20kV to the
cathode.
3. The potential difference of the anode and cathode creates an electric field that
goes from the anode to the cathode (right to left).
4. The electric force that gets applied to the electrons (negative charge) goes in the
opposite direction of the electric field and so to the right, which means that the
electrons go through the small cut by forming a thin beam that after that
continues on travelling with an constant velocity from the anode to the
fluorescent screen.
5. When the electrons "hit" the screen, the area that is being hit fluoresces
intensely and that way "displays" something.
6. To manage the number of electrons that should pass-through we use an control
grid, which of course helps us adjust the brightness of the "hit" spot.
7. The electrons that leave the cathode have different directions and so to focus
them into a single beam a focussing anode is being used.
8. To specify the actual point where the electrons should hit we use horizontal and
vertical deflection plates.

RF section means the Radio Frequency section. When you connect your TV with
an antenna, it means with radiofrequency that time this section will work.

This section now uses this time because we all reuse the set-top box. But still if
you want to use this section install the antenna and take advantage of this
section.
