Liquid Crystal Diode (LCD)

Definition: The LCD is defined as the diode that uses small cells and the ionised gases for the production of images. The LCD works on the modulating property of light. The light modulation is the technique of sending and receiving the signal through the light. The liquid crystal consumes a small amount of energy because …

Light Emitting Diode (LED)

Definition: The LED is a PN-junction diode which emits light when an electric current passes through it in the forward direction. In the LED, the recombination of charge carrier takes place. The electron from the N-side and the hole from the P-side are combined and gives the energy in the form of heat and light. …

Digital Storage Oscilloscope

Definition: The digital storage oscilloscope is defined as the oscilloscope which stores and analysis the signal digitally, i.e. in the form of 1 or 0 preferably storing them as analogue signals. The digital oscilloscope takes an input signal, store them and then display it on the screen. The digital oscilloscope has advanced features of storage, …

Electrostatic Deflection in CRT

Definition: Electrostatic deflection is the method of aligning the path of charged particles by applying the electric field between the deflecting plates. The word electrostatic means the strength and the direction of the field changes concerning time. So that, the particles will move only in one direction. The cathode ray tube uses deflecting plates for …

Electron Gun

Definition: Electron gun is defined as the source of focused and accelerated electron beam. It is a device used in Cathode Ray Tube for displaying the image on the phosphorous screen of CRT. The electron gun emits electrons and forms them into a beam by the help of a heater, cathode, grid, pre-accelerating, accelerating and …

Cathode Ray Tube (CRT)

Definition: The CRT is a display screen which produces images in the form of the video signal. It is a type of vacuum tube which displays images when the electron beam through electron guns are strikes on the phosphorescent surface. In other Words, the CRT generates the beams, accelerates it at high velocity and deflect …
