cathode ray tube
Old television display
A cathode ray tube is a vacuum tube that produces images by firing electron beams at a phosphorescent screen.
For most of the twentieth century, cathode ray tubes powered television sets and computer monitors.
The technology has been largely replaced by flat-panel displays, though CRT monitors persist in specialized applications like retro gaming.
