Display Devices:
Display devices are also known as Output devices. A commonly used output device in a graphics system is Video Monitor. The operations of most video monitors is based on the Cathode Ray Tube Design.
Cathode Ray Tube [CRT]
CRT: Simplest version of CRT consists of a gas-filled glass tube in which two metal plates that is Cathode and Anode have placed. When a large voltage is placed across the electrodes, the Neutral Gas inside the Gas Tube Ionize into conducting plasma, and the current will flow as electrons travel from Cathode to the other side.
CRT is a type of Display Device. CRT are special electronic vacuum tubes that use a focused electron beam to Display Images.
Where Cathode Ray Tubes are Used?
Television.
Computers.
Oscilloscopes.
Radar Display.
In video games Equipment.
What is inside Cathode Ray Tubes?
A CRT has a negatively charged terminal (i.e., Heated Filament). The filament is contained inside a vacuum with a glass tube. Filament: Coil of wire inside the cylindrical cathode structure. Inside CRT a beam of electrons is allowed to flow from filament into the vacuum. Accelerating Anode is then used to speed up the movement of the electrons. The fast-moving electrons fly through the tubes vacuums, hitting the phosphors coated screen and making it glow.
How heat is supplied to CRT?
By directing the current through a coil of wire called filament i.e., inside the cylindrical structure.
Role of Focusing System in CRT
It is needed to force the electron beam to converge into a small spot as it strikes the phosphor. Otherwise, electrons would repel each other and the beam would spread out as it approaches the screen.

How Cathode Ray Tubes display output on the screen?
Whatever you see on the screen is the combined effect of all the electron light emission. A spot of light is produced on the screen by transfer of the CRT beam energy to the phosphor. When the electrons beam collides with the phosphor coating, they are stopped and their K.E. is absorbed by the phosphor. Part of the energy is converted by friction into heat energy. After a short time, the excited phosphor electrons begin dropping back to their normal ground state giving up extra energy as a small quantum of light energy.
