CRT (Cathode Ray Tube)

CRT monitors host a vacuum tube that houses a flat phosphor covered screen at one end and an electron gun assembly at the other end. The video image on your monitor is created by projecting a narrow beam of electrons onto the phosphor covered screen. The area where the beams hit the phosphor will glow for a brief period of time and then fade out. Because the beam created by the electron beams fade off very quickly, it must retrace its path constantly to keep image on the screen. The electron beams in your monitor must repaint the screen at least 60 times per second or your eye will perceive flicker. This retracing is referred as the monitors referred as monitors “refresh rate”.
