  1. picture tube

    A picture tube, also known as a cathode ray tube (CRT), is a type of analog display device that was widely used in televisions, computer monitors, and oscilloscopes before the advent of flat-screen technologies. It's a vacuum tube containing an electron gun and a fluorescent screen, with beam-deflecting plates or coils to adjust the path of the electron beam. As the electrons from the electron gun hit the fluorescent screen, it causes the screen to glow at that spot, producing images.
