Aiken tube

The Aiken tube was the first successful flat panel black and white television. Geer tube and Aiken tube are television technology and vacuum tube displays.

See Geer tube and Aiken tube

Aperture grille

An aperture grille is one of two major technologies used to manufacture color cathode-ray tube (CRT) televisions and computer displays; the other is the shadow mask.

See Geer tube and Aperture grille

The beam-index tube is a color television cathode ray tube (CRT) design, using phosphor stripes and active-feedback timing, rather than phosphor dots and a beam-shadowing mask as developed by RCA. Geer tube and beam-index tube are Early color television, television technology and vacuum tube displays.

See Geer tube and Beam-index tube

Cathode-ray tube

A cathode-ray tube (CRT) is a vacuum tube containing one or more electron guns, which emit electron beams that are manipulated to display images on a phosphorescent screen. Geer tube and cathode-ray tube are television technology and vacuum tube displays.

See Geer tube and Cathode-ray tube

CBS

CBS Broadcasting Inc., commonly shortened to CBS (an abbreviation of its original name, Columbia Broadcasting System), is an American commercial broadcast television and radio network serving as the flagship property of the CBS Entertainment Group division of Paramount Global and is one of the company's three flagship subsidiaries, along with namesake Paramount Pictures and MTV.

See Geer tube and CBS

Chromatron

The Chromatron is a color television cathode ray tube design invented by Nobel prize-winner Ernest Lawrence and developed commercially by Paramount Pictures, Sony, Litton Industries and others. Geer tube and Chromatron are Early color television, television technology and vacuum tube displays.

See Geer tube and Chromatron

Color gel

A color gel or color filter (Commonwealth spelling: colour gel or colour filter), also known as lighting gel or simply gel, is a transparent colored material that is used in theater, event production, photography, videography and cinematography to color light and for color correction.

See Geer tube and Color gel

Color television

Color television (American English) or colour television (Commonwealth English) is a television transmission technology that includes color information for the picture, so the video image can be displayed in color on the television set. Geer tube and color television are television technology.

See Geer tube and Color television

Composite video

Composite video is an baseband analog video format that typically carries a 415, 525 or 625 line interlaced black and white or color signal, on a single channel, unlike the higher-quality S-Video (two channels) and the even higher-quality component video (three or more channels). Geer tube and Composite video are television technology.

See Geer tube and Composite video

Computer monitor

A computer monitor is an output device that displays information in pictorial or textual form.

See Geer tube and Computer monitor

Dennis Gabor

Dennis Gabor (Gábor Dénes,; 5 June 1900 – 9 February 1979) was a Hungarian-British electrical engineer and physicist who invented holography, for which he received the 1971 Nobel Prize in Physics.

See Geer tube and Dennis Gabor

Digital television transition

The digital television transition, also called the digital switchover (DSO), the analogue switch/sign-off (ASO), the digital migration, or the analogue shutdown, is the process in which older analogue television broadcasting technology is converted to and replaced by digital television.

See Geer tube and Digital television transition

Electron gun

Electron gun from a cathode-ray tube The electron gun from an RCA Vidicon video camera tube An electron gun (also called electron emitter) is an electrical component in some vacuum tubes that produces a narrow, collimated electron beam that has a precise kinetic energy.

See Geer tube and Electron gun

Field-sequential color system

A field-sequential color system (FSC) is a color television system in which the primary color information is transmitted in successive images and which relies on the human vision system to fuse the successive images into a color picture. Geer tube and field-sequential color system are television technology.

See Geer tube and Field-sequential color system

Holography

Holography is a technique that enables a wavefront to be recorded and later reconstructed.

See Geer tube and Holography

Liquid-crystal display

A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat-panel display or other electronically modulated optical device that uses the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers.

See Geer tube and Liquid-crystal display

Luminance

Luminance is a photometric measure of the luminous intensity per unit area of light travelling in a given direction.

See Geer tube and Luminance

NTSC

NTSC (from National Television Standards Committee) is the first American standard for analog television, published in 1941.

See Geer tube and NTSC

Pixel

In digital imaging, a pixel (abbreviated px), pel, or picture element is the smallest addressable element in a raster image, or the smallest addressable element in a dot matrix display device. Geer tube and pixel are television technology.

See Geer tube and Pixel

Popular Mechanics

Popular Mechanics (often abbreviated as PM or PopMech) is a magazine of popular science and technology, featuring automotive, home, outdoor, electronics, science, do it yourself, and technology topics.

See Geer tube and Popular Mechanics

Popular Science

Popular Science (also known as PopSci) is a U.S. popular science website, covering science and technology topics geared toward general readers.
