Rakdos Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 electrons are excited into certian color wavlengths and strike the screen producing the color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osram Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Red, blue and green "lamps" sends out color. The monitor mixes those colors inte the one you see. If you have a small drop of water on the screen you can see those "lamps". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 http://computer.howstuffworks.com/monitor.htm All you ever needed to know. It's a little more complex than "lamps" - they use cathode ray tubes (i.e. a beam of electrons). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I used ", cause I didn't know exactly what it was =). Thank you for telling. But a beam of electrons... can we see that? Don't you mean photons? =/ The electrons hit the screen, coated with phosphor which glows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Have a look at this. Phospherous material on the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
