DISPLAY DEVICES

The display device is an output device used to represent the

information in the form of images (visual form). Display
systems are mostly called a video monitor or Video display
unit (VDU).
Display devices are designed to model, display, view, or displa
y information. The purpose of display technology is to
simplify information sharing.

CRT & TYPES

Cathode Ray Tube (CRT)
 Cathode Ray Tube (CRT)
 CRT stands for Cathode Ray Tube. CRT is a technology
used in traditional computer monitors and televisions.
 The image on CRT display is created by firing electrons
from the back of the tube of phosphorus located towards
the front of the screen.
 Once the electron heats the phosphorus, they light up, and
they are projected on a screen.
 The color you view on the screen is produced by a blend
of red, blue and green light.
 Components of CRT
1. Electron Gun: Electron gun consisting of a series of elements, primarily a heating
filament (heater) and a cathode. The electron gun creates a source of electrons which
are focused into a narrow beam directed at the face of the CRT.
2. Control Electrode: It is used to turn the electron beam on and off.
3. Focusing system: It is used to create a clear picture by focusing the electrons
into a narrow beam.
4. Deflection Yoke: It is used to control the direction of the electron beam. It creates an
electric or magnetic field which will bend the electron beam as it passes through the area.
In a conventional CRT, the yoke is linked to a sweep or scan generator. The deflection
yoke which is connected to the sweep generator creates a fluctuating electric or magnetic
potential.
5. Phosphorus-coated screen: The inside front surface of every CRT is coated with
phosphors. Phosphors glow when a high-energy electron beam hits them. Phosphorescence
is the term used to characterize the light given off by a phosphor after it has been exposed
to an electron beam.

call as horizontal retracing.
Types of Raster Scan:
INTERLACED SCANNING:
◦ In Interlaced scanning, each horizontal line of the screen is traced from top to
bottom. Due to which fading of display of object may occur.
◦ For interlaced display refresh rate of 60 frames per second is used.
NON – INTERLACED SCANNING:
◦ In Non-Interlaced scanning, first, all the odd numbered lines are traced or
visited by an electron beam, then in the next circle, even number of lines are
located.
◦ For non-interlaced display refresh rate of 30 frames per second used.
◦ But it gives flickers.
