TARGETS FOR COLOUR CRTS

摘要

The target of a CRT comprises a single crystal substrate (e.g., YAG) on which are formed a plurality of color stripe triads of epitaxial material. Each stripe triad has three epitaxial layers in a staircase geometry and is overlayed with a metal stripe. The metal stripes are the fingers of a pair of interdigitated electrodes. A single e-beam scans the stripes horizontally, and a sequence of current pulses generated in the electrodes precisely defines the horizontal position of the beam relative to the triads. This information is used to precisely time the beam modulation for introducing color signals. The CRT is particularly suited to miniaturization and application in projection systems.
