Description

V\éstinghouse RELIATRON® usss 14AEP4 TELEVISION PICTURE TUBE TYPE 14AEP4 February 20, 1957 90° Deflaction Low G2 Voltage External Conductive Coating Rectongular Glass Cathode Drive Design Spherical Face Plate Magnetic Deflection Aluminized 12 1/16" x 9 1/2" Picture No fon Trap The 14AEP4 is an electrostatic-focus picture tube of rectangular glass construction with a spherical face plate of neutral gray glass. Its features include an eiectron gun designed specifically for cathode drive oper- ation. Fuller advantage is taken of the potentialities of cathode drive, with the result that this tube gives in- creased highlight contrast, as compared with conventional tubes, with equal or slightly less drive required. It operates at a low G2 voltage. The allowable cutoff range has been reduced to assure greater uniformity of product. The 14AEP4 has an external conductive coating, and it has a metalbacked screen for increased picture brightness. A new design no-ion-trap gun allows a reduction in
