ABSTRACT:
The life time of a CRT is extended by decreasing the temperature of the cathode by 7-30% from the normal operating temperature and by applying a constant voltage signal to a cathode of the CRT which is shifted from a first voltage level for displaying the lowest luminance of the image toward a second voltage level for displaying the highest luminance of the image. The shift is of the order of 5-25%, so that a constant anode current in the range of 2-14 uA flows in the CRT.
