A digitally addressed flat-panel CRT

Principles of operation and special operational features of a digitally addressed flat-panel electron beam display are discussed. Special emphasis is given to explaining methods of simplifying and optimizing the display structure for a given application, and techniques for implementing color and inherent storage to the structure. In addition, a fairly detailed analysis of the display power requirements is given, along with calculations for a specific display. Also covered are the operating characteristics of several prototype displays, and comments pertaining to life, manufacturability, and environmental characteristics.
