What I do is I make optical lenses. That's my primary function. I make optical lenses that aid in printing phosphors onto the screen of the CRT. You get images on the face of a CRT [cathode ray tube--a screen for television or computer]from the emission of electrons from the cathode of the CRT, which are then accelerated to form a beam. The beam hits phosphors that are printed on the screen. When the phosphors absorb the electron energy, they emit light corresponding to the color of the phosphor - red, green, or blue. Different combinations [intensities]
of red, green and blue make up the other colors that you see on your TV.My job is ... to develop lenses that will print stripes on the screen that match up with the electron beam from the gun of the CRT.
When I'm designing a new lens, my first step is to get the most recent
landing data from the person who did the measurements on the CRT
--that's the data that I use to base new lenses on. And if there is a design coming up, then I just take the data, and I run it through the program and perform the necessary calculations on it. Then I convert that data into a code that the milling machine reads to make the lenses.
