CRT Electrostatic Deflection Electron Gun creates an electron beam with controllable intensity. The deflection system moves the electron beam vertically and horizontally.

2 CRT Electrostatic Deflection Electron Gun creates an electron beam with controllable intensity. The deflection system moves the electron beam vertically and horizontally. When the electron beam strikes the phosphor, it produces visible light on the fluorescent screen. Only one point is lighted.

4 Vector Displays or random scan display Vector Displays The electron beam is directed only to the parts of the screen where a picture is to be drawn. Like plotters it draws a picture one line at a time Used in line drawing and wireframe displays Picture is stored as a set of line-drawing commands stored in a refresh display file. Refresh rate depends on number of lines Typicaly: Refresh cycle is 30 to 60 times each second short lines at this refresh rate 7 8 4
