SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of producing cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors using 100% environmentally friendly glass materials. Participants express skepticism about the practicality of such a development, citing significant challenges, particularly the inherent issues associated with cathode rays. The consensus indicates that creating a fully green CRT is unlikely due to both technical and logistical constraints, including weight and cost considerations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of cathode ray tube (CRT) technology
  • Knowledge of environmental materials science
  • Familiarity with glass manufacturing processes
  • Awareness of the implications of cathode ray emissions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advancements in sustainable glass materials for electronics
  • Explore alternatives to CRT technology, such as LCD or OLED
  • Investigate regulations surrounding electronic waste and recycling
  • Learn about the environmental impact of traditional CRT manufacturing
USEFUL FOR

Environmental scientists, electronics manufacturers, and anyone interested in sustainable technology solutions in the display industry.

I see new environmental friendly glass materials coming in the future. Is it possible for companies to make new cathode ray tube monitors with 100% green environment friendly glass materials. How will this work?

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Unfortunately, there is one big hurdle in the way of making an environmentally friendly CRT glass envelope. Can you say what that is? The clue is in that acronym "CRT"... :wink:

It just won't.
Apart from having some problems regarding the side effect of cathode rays, I would be the first to protest if anybody would try to force me giving up half of my desk to host one (three) of those CRT monsters.

Just imagine how much THIS would weigh (and cost) if created with a CRT.
