    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 ...

    A 14-inch cathode-ray tube showing its deflection coils and electron guns. The cathode-ray tube (CRT) is a vacuum tube containing one or more electron guns (a source of electrons or electron emitter) and a fluorescent screen used to view images. [38] It has the means to accelerate and deflect the electron beam(s) onto the screen to create the ...

    Although others had experimented with using a cathode ray tube as a receiver, the concept of using one as a transmitter was novel. [47] The first cathode ray tube to use a hot cathode was developed by John B. Johnson (who gave his name to the term Johnson noise) and Harry Weiner Weinhart of Western Electric, and became a commercial product in 1922.
