Engineering:Quintrix

From HandWiki

Quintrix is a name given to a flat and wide cathode-ray tube for televisions made by Panasonic. Quintrix tubes were first introduced to the market in 1974.[1] The word originates from the Latin word "quintum", which means "fifth". So far there are three models of Quintrix available:

  • Quintrix,
  • Quintrix F, and
  • Quintrix SR (SR = Super Resolution)

The first Quintrix cathode-ray tubes featured a prefocus lens that reduced beam diffusion, giving a sharper picture.

Manufactured in Malaysia and also in Wales with an MX-6 core, the Quintrix model was the standard television type for Hong Kong's etv project in 1999.
