据Electronic 49(6)39(1976)报导,美国Zenith无线电公司一项研制适合于新的自动化作业线的新式彩电显像管的计划,在历时五年之后获得成功。新管子的偏角为100°,其生产成本低,分辨率与亮度都高,性能指标已超过了日本产的偏转角为110°的管子。1976年内,Zenith将用新的自动化作业线生产19时的这种新管子20万到25万只——约为其各种显像管产额总和的十分之一。 According to Electronic 49 (6) 39 (1976), Zenith Radio of the United States plans to develop a new color TV tube for a new automated line that succeeded five years later. The new tube angle of 100 °, its low cost of production, resolution and brightness are high, performance indicators have surpassed Japan-made deflection angle of 110 ° pipe. Within 1976, Zenith will produce between 200,000 and 250,000 new tubes at 1900 hours using new automated lines - about one tenth of the sum of its various tubes.
