Record 2 2012-01-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electronic Components
  • Computer Graphics
CONT

The arrangement of the beam-penetration CRT is similar to that of normal CRT's; the only unusual component is the multilayer phosphor, in which a layer of red phosphor is deposited behind the initial layer of green phosphor. If a fairly low-potential electron beam strikes the tube face, it excites only the red phosphor and therefore produces a red trace. When the accelerating potential is increased, the velocity of the beam striking the phosphor is greater, and as a result the beam penetrates into the green phosphor, increasing the green component of the light output.

OBS

CRT: cathode-ray tube.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Composants électroniques
  • Infographie
DEF

Tube cathodique où la couleur affichée dépend de l'énergie du faisceau d'électrons.

Record 3 2007-03-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Audiovisual Techniques and Equipment
  • Video Technology
DEF

A video display device in which a powerful light source is modulated by a ’valve’ controlled by a much smaller, less powerful one, thus making it possible to project a very large image.

OBS

The valve is a polarized liquid crystal device in which one surface reflects a powerful light in proportion to the amount of much weaker light falling on the reverse side. The controlling light can be an image created by a CRT [cathode ray tube]. Three valves, red, blue and green, are necessary for color projection.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Audiovisuel (techniques et équipement)
  • Vidéotechnique
DEF

Unité d'affichage vidéo intégrant une puissante source lumineuse contrôlée à l'aide d'un modulateur lui-même régulé par un autre modulateur de taille et de puissance plus réduites permettant de projeter une image très large.

OBS

Le modulateur de lumière est un dispositif à cristaux liquides polarisé comportant une surface réfléchissant la lumière suivant une puissance proportionnelle à la quantité de lumière de moindre puissance projetée sur la surface opposée. La lumière de contrôle peut être une image générée par un tube [cathodique]. Trois modulateurs (rouge, bleu et vert) sont nécessaires pour la projection couleur.

Record 7 1986-08-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pigments and Colours (Arts)
DEF

The color of the usual material sold under this name resembles a rather pale viridian.

OBS

Because this term has been so loosely applied to emerald green, Verona green earth, viridian, and chrome green by tube color manufacturers, it has little meaning.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pigments et couleurs (Arts)
OBS

Tonalité : vert vif. Origine : minéral. Nature chimique : acéto-arséniate de cuivre.
