CRT color monitor

• A CRT monitor displays color pictures by using


a combination of phosphors that emit different-
colored light

• By combining the emitted light from the different


phosphors, a range of colors can be generated
• The two basic techniques for producing color
displays with a CRT are

•The beam-penetration method


•The shadow-mask method
The beam-penetration method

• The beam-penetration method for displaying


color pictures has been used with random-
scan monitors

• Two layers of phosphor, usually red and green,


are coated onto the inside of the CRT screen
• Displayed color depends on how far the
electron beam penetrates into the phosphor
layers.
• A beam of slow electrons excites only the
outer red layer.

• A beam of very fast electrons penetrates


through the red layer and excites the inner
green layer.
• At intermediate beam speeds, combinations of
red and green light are emitted to show two
additional colors, orange and yellow.

• The speed of the electrons, and hence the screen


color at any point, is controlled by the beam-
acceleration voltage.
• Beam penetration has been an inexpensive
way to produce color in random-scan
monitors

• The quality of pictures is not as good as with


other methods
SHADOW MASK METHOD
• They are commonly used in raster scan
systems (including color TV) because they
produce a much wider range of colors than
the beam- penetration method.
• A shadow-mask CRT has three phosphor color
dots at each pixel position.
• One phosphor dot emits a red light, another
emits a green light,
• and the third emits a blue light.
• This type of CRT has three electron guns, one
for each color dot,
• and a shadow-mask grid which is pierced with
small round holes
• in a triangular pattern just behind the
phosphor-coated screen.
• 2 types of arrangements are possible
• In-line Method and delta delta method(Triad
arrangement)
Delta- Delta method

• Delta- Delta method is commonly used


in color CRT system

• A shadow mask is often used to ensure that


the electron beams from the guns fall on the
correct phosphors

• The three electron beams are deflected and


focused as a group onto the shadow mask
• When the three beams pass through a hole in the
shadow mask, they activate a dot triangle, which
appears as a small color spot on the screen.

• The phosphor dots in the triangles are arranged so that


each electron beam can activate only its corresponding
color dot when it passes through the shadow mask.

• Color variations in a shadow-mask CRT are obtained by


varying the intensity levels of the three electron beams
• A white (or gray) area is the result of activating all
three dots with equal intensity

• A black is produced with zero intensity of all


colors
• Yellow=Red+ Green
• Magenta=Red+Blue
• Cyan= Blue +Green
• This produce 8 colors
Inline arrangement
• 3 electron guns and the corresponding red-
green-blue color dots on the screen, are
aligned along one scan line rather of in
a triangular pattern

• This inline arrangement of electron guns is


easier to keep in alignment and is commonly
used in high-resolution color CRT’s
• In some low-cost systems, the electron beam
can only be set to on or off, limiting displays
to eight colors.
• More sophisticated systems can set
intermediate intensity levels for the electron
beams, allowing several million
different colors to be generated
• Color CRTs in graphics systems are designed
as RGB monitors.
• These monitors use shadow mask
method and take the intensity level for each
gun.
• A RGB color system with 24 bits of storage per
pixel is known as full color system or true
color system.
Pros & Cons of shadow mask method
Advantages

• Produce realistic images


• Million different colors to be generated
• Shadow scenes are possible

Disadvantages
• low resolution
• expensive
