CRT is a mature technology, less expensive, higher contrast, and still produces brighter pictures than a flat-panel display of the same display area. These advantages are slowly being eroded with better flat-panel technology. The cons are more than offsetting its pros. Since CRT uses accelerated electrons and a phosphor screen, it has a little more harmful radiation (if not properly shielded), it uses more energy and generates more heat, and at the end of its life, produces more hazardous materials, not to mention that it occupies a larger footprint and weighs more than a flat-panel display.

What is the negatively charged electrode of a cathode ray tube?

The negatively charged electrode of a cathode ray tube (CRT) is the cathode. The tube is a cathode ray tube, and electrons stream off the cathode, are accelerated across the evacuated space and "directed" either electromagnetically or electrostatically, and then strike the phosphor coating on the positively charged anode at a "location" determined by the "directing" elements.
