cathode ray tube
Sign in to saveAlso known as CRT
vacuum tube that can show moving pictures, vector graphics, or lines
A cathode ray tube is a vacuum tube that uses a beam of electrons to display moving pictures, graphics, or lines on a screen. This technology was fundamental to televisions and computer monitors for decades, making it essential to how most people watched TV and used computers throughout the 20th century.
