A Slim CRT to Compete with Flat Panels

摘要

Significant advantages in the physics behind the operation of color picture tubes (CPTs) based on cathode-ray tubes (CRTs) will be necessary to make them as thin as liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) or plasma-display panels (PDPs). However, this does not mean that CRT-based CPTs cannot become slim enough to meet consumer demands for affordable large-screen TV sets with depth profiles that suit modern lifestyles and interior design. LG.Philips Displays has recently developed new 4:3 format and wide-screen SuperSlim CPTs with a maximum depth of 35 cm in the region of the gun and a much shallower profile over the rest of the screen area, allowing them to be accommodated in slim TV-set designs.
