  2. Cathode-ray tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode-ray_tube

    A cathode-ray tube (CRT) is a vacuum tube containing one or more electron guns, which emit electron beams that are manipulated to display images on a phosphorescent screen. [2] The images may represent electrical waveforms on an oscilloscope , a frame of video on an analog television set (TV), digital raster graphics on a computer monitor , or ...

    The "Braun tube" became the foundation of 20th century TV. [10] In 1926, Kenjiro Takayanagi demonstrated the first TV system that employed a cathode-ray tube (CRT) display, at Hamamatsu Industrial High School in Japan. [11] This was the first working example of a fully electronic television receiver. [12]

  5. Analog television - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_television

    Analog television did not begin in earnest as an industry until the development of the cathode-ray tube (CRT), which uses a focused electron beam to trace lines across a phosphor coated surface. The electron beam could be swept across the screen much faster than any mechanical disc system, allowing for more closely spaced scan lines and much ...

    Analog television system by nation Analog color television encoding standards by nation. Every analog television system bar one began as a black-and-white system. Each country, faced with local political, technical, and economic issues, adopted a color television standard which was grafted onto an existing monochrome system such as CCIR System M, using gaps in the video spectrum (explained ...

    The replacement of earlier cathode-ray tube (CRT) screen displays with compact, energy-efficient, flat-panel alternative technologies such as LCDs (both fluorescent-backlit and LED), OLED displays, and plasma displays was a hardware revolution that began with computer monitors in the late 1990s.

    The tube has a perfectly proportioned copy of the test pattern master art (or a modified variant with the station ID replacing the Indian-head portrait, such as those used by KRLD-TV, [2] WBAP-TV [3] and WKY-TV [4]) inside, permanently deposited as a carbon image on an aluminum target plate or slide.

  9. Mechanical television - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_television

    Mechanical TV usually only produced small images. It was the main type of TV until the 1930s. Vacuum tube television, first demonstrated in September 1927 in San Francisco by Philo Farnsworth , and then publicly by Farnsworth at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia in 1934, was rapidly overtaking mechanical television.
