TV Set Energy Conservation From a Picture Tube Manufacturer´s Point of View

The television industry is faced with government pressures to reduce the energy consumption of new TV receivers. Since the TV picture tube with its associated neck components represents the largest and most expensive part of a TV set, it is reasonable to examine the role that it plays in determining energy consumption and to see what options are available to reduce picture tube-related energy consumption. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to convey some insights into TV receiver energy consumption from the CRT manufacturer´s point of view and to identify areas in which power savings are possible.
