    Lec-2.6 Color CRT Display

    The document discusses two techniques for producing color displays using a cathode ray tube (CRT) monitor: the beam penetration method and the shadow mask method. The beam penetration method coats the CRT screen with red and green phosphor layers and produces colors by varying how far electrons penetrate the layers, allowing for only four colors. The shadow mask method is more commonly used as it can produce millions of colors using trios of red, green, and blue phosphor dots aligned with a shadow mask that directs electron beams from three guns. It allows for better image quality and more colors than the beam penetration method.

    Color CRT Monitor
    The CRT Monitor display by using a combination of phosphors. The
    phosphors are different colors. There are two popular approaches for
    producing color displays with a CRT are:
    i. Beam Penetration Method
    ii. Shadow-Mask Method

    Beam Penetration Method
    The Beam-Penetration method has been used with random-scan
    monitors.
    In this method, the CRT screen is coated with two layers of phosphor,
    red and green.
    The displayed color depends on how far the electron beam penetrates
    the phosphor layers.
    This method produces four colors only, red, green, orange and yellow.

    A beam of slow electrons excites the outer red layer only; hence
    screen shows red color only.
    A beam of high-speed electrons excites the inner green layer. Thus
    screen shows a green color.

    Advantages
    • Inexpensive

    Disadvantages
    • Only four colors are possible
    • Quality of pictures is not as good as with another method.

    Shadow Mask Method
    Shadow Mask Method is commonly used in Raster-Scan System
    because they produce a much wider range of colors than the beam-
    penetration method.
    It is used in the majority of color TV sets and monitors.
    Construction
    A shadow mask CRT has 3 phosphor color dots at each pixel position.
    One phosphor dot emits : red light
    Another emits : green light
    Third emits : blue light

    This type of CRT has 3 electron guns, one for each color dot and a
    shadow mask grid just behind the phosphor coated screen.
    Shadow mask grid is pierced with small round holes in a triangular
    pattern.

    Advantages
    • Realistic image
    • Million different colors to be generated
    • Shadow scenes are possible

    Disadvantages
    • Relatively expensive compared with the monochrome CRT.
    • Relatively poor resolution
