What Does CRT Stand For?

CRT stands for Cathode Ray Tube

Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) is a technology used in traditional display devices, such as television screens and computer monitors. It consists of a vacuum tube containing one or more electron guns that emit electron beams, which are directed toward a phosphorescent screen. The interaction of the beams with the screen produces images through the illumination of phosphor coatings in response to electric signals. CRTs were widely used before the advent of flat-screen technologies like LCD and LED but are now largely considered obsolete due to their bulkiness and energy consumption.
