ABSTRACT:
The luminescent screen of a cathode ray tube includes an array of monocrystalline or amorphous phosphor rod-like elements which are covered with a reflective coating except for one end of each element which serves as an output face. The phenomenon of the light trapping is advantageously exploited to achieve enhanced brightness. The screen is illuminated with an electron beam which has an essentially oblong cross section and which is oriented along the elongated dimension of the elements. In one embodiment the elements comprise epitaxial Lu.sub.3 Al.sub.3 Ga.sub.2 O.sub.12 :Ce on the top of a YAG substrate, and a light absorbing layer of Lu.sub.3 Al.sub.3.5 Fe.sub.1.5 O.sub.12 is formed on the bottom of the substrate. A printer utilizing such a CRT is described. Also described is a configuration in which each of the rod-like elements functions as a laser.
