What causes CRTs to glow after they are turned off?

[Shawn]

Anyone else notice this? If you are in a dark room and you turn off a crt you can still see it glowing for a while. What causes this?

 

[xtknight]

Phosphors retain charge?

 

[Sluggo]

The enriched uranium inside.

 

[Kalvin00]

the intertia of the particles of light are still emitting diodes which keeps the screen light for a bit.

 

[dighn]

it's the phosphors (sp). they tend to retain some energy, like the stuff in watches.

 

[imported_LoKe]

The tubes are filled/charged?

Radiation.....

I just clip on some power cables to the foil and let the current do my work.

Hi, The Second Annode Voltage of 30,000 Volts or up on larger CRTs takes a long time to completely bleed off. It's causing the phosphorous on the screen to glow. May stop afer up to a day. There may be a lot more to this, so you may get a more detailed reply. Jim

I thought only lead is able to protect you from radiation? 🙂

There is strong evidence that WMD are found inside monitors.

Since sanctions never work, you should invade your monitor to get the WMDs!
