Color CRT
• This was one the earlier CRTs to produce color displays.
Coating phosphors of different compounds can produce
different colored pictures.
• But the basic problem of graphics is not to produce a picture
of a predetermined color, but to produce color pictures, with
the color characteristics chosen at run time.
• The basic principle behind colored displays is that combining
the 3 basic colors –Red, Blue and Green

Beam penetration
• This CRT is similar to the simple CRT, but it makes use of multi
coloured phosphorus of number of layers. Each phosphorus
layer is responsible for one colour.
• The organization is something like this - The red, green and
blue phosphorus are coated in layers - one behind the other.
• If a low speed beam strikes the CRT, only the red colored
phosphorus is activated, a slightly accelerated beam would
activate both red and green and a much more activated one
would add the blue component also.

Shadow Masking

• This works, again, on the principle of combining the basic


colors - Red, green and Blue - in suitable proportions to get a
combination of colors, but it's principle is much more
sophisticated and stable.
• uses 3 different guns placed one by the side of the other to
form a triangle or a "Delta“
• Each pixel point on the screen is also made up of 3 types of
phosphors to produce red, blue and green colors.
• Just before the phosphor screen is a metal screen, called a
"shadow mask".

Shadow Masking

• Since three beams are to be focused, the role of the "Shadow


mask" becomes critical.
• If the focusing is not achieved properly, the results tend to
be poor. Also, since instead of one pixel point in a
monochrome CRT now each pixel is made up of 3 points (for
3 colors), the resolution of the CRT (no. of pixels) for a given
screen size reduces.
• while focusing them through the holes their intensities get
reduced, thus reducing the overall brightness of the picture.

Direct view Storage Tube

• Store image information as a charge


distribution
• Two electron guns are used
– Primary gun
– The flood gun
Advantage: No refreshing required
Draw complex pictures
with high resolution
Disadvantages: To eliminate some section
entire picture need to erased.

Flat Panel Display


• A flat-panel display is a thin screen display found on
all portable computers and is the new standard
for desktop computers.
• Unlike (CRT) monitors, flat-panel displays use liquid-
crystal display (LCD) or light-emitting diode
(LED) technology to make them much lighter and
thinner compared to a traditional monitor.
• Less weight ,volume and power requirement as
compared to CRT’S

display device.

Flat Panel Display

• Flat-panel display technologies are sweeping through


markets all over the world
– Digital Signage, Home Theater
– Command and Control, Retail Displays
– Handheld Electronics (Cameras, PDAs, Phones)
• The Contenders
– Plasma Display Panels (PDPs)
– Thin-film Transistor Liquid Crystal Displays (TFT LCDs)
– Organic Light-emitting Diodes (OLEDs)
– Electroluminescent and Emissive Displays

Flat Panel Display


• The term flat–panel displays refers to a class of video
devices that have reduced volume, weight, and power
requirements compared to a CRT. A significant feature of flat-
panel displayed is that they are thinner than CRTs, and we can
hang them on walls or wear them on our wrists.

From CRT to LCD


• CRT
– Bulky, heavy, use vacuum tube
technology.
– Using technology that was
developed in the 19th century.
• LCD
– First LCD laptop monitors were very
small due to manufacturing costs.
– Light, sleek, energy-efficient, have
sharp picture.

Advantages of CRT

• Color
– Most are capable of displaying unlimited colors.
• Resolution
– Multiple video Resolutions.

Advantages of CRT

• Response Time
– Faster response time. Critical to people who watch
videos or play games on their PC’s.
– The fastest LCD’s offer a response time of about 25
milliseconds as apposed to CRT’s that have a response
time of about 13 milliseconds.

Advantages of CRT
• Viewing Angle
– Look @ a very wide angle

How Monitors Work

• Most use a cathode-ray tube as


a display device.
• CRT: Glass tube that is narrow
at one end and opens to a flat
screen at the other end.
• Narrow end contains electron
guns.
– Single gun for monochrome and
three guns for color.
– Display screen is covered with tiny
phosphor dots that emit light when
struck by the electron gun.
