What 3, colors create the pictures we see on TV?

Question

On our older TV sets there are sometimes these little logos that are comprised of 3, colors.
I'm told that what happens is the the prejection intencity of each color will vary depending on what color is needed on a single tiny dot. These tiny dots are all over the screen. The process is duplicated many times over throughout the screen developing moving pictures.
Is anyone familiar with the 3, colors that are used?

Answer 1

pink purple and orangeago

Answer 2

In a colour TV there are 3 colours of phosphor: red, blue and green, and 3 electron guns each aiming at a different set of dots. If you sit very close to the TV you can see the individual dots of red , blue and green, but as you move away they merge together forming all the colours you can see.

Answer 3

I will give you the correct answer since I just got done fixing my projection tv it is red, yellow, blue,. I was watching foot ball
and the yellow bulb went out therefore my field was blue since the yellow could not mix with blue to make the green. So green is definitely not one of the colors as some of them suggest. If you go to magnavox website you can order the bulbs in only 3 colors

Answer 4

R,G,B. Red, green, and blue. These colors are combined in various strengths to produce color. RGB is measured from 0-255 for each color. So 255R, 255G, and 255B = pure white. 0,0,0 = black. Red takes up the most bandwidth for tv broadcast. That is why you may sometimes notice that bright red on digital cable sometimes reproduces funny. Regular (not hi-def) tv is interlaced, meaning that 2 screens of alternating lines take turns flickering on and off and your eye does not perceive the missing lines. Progressive scan means that the tv is showing both screens of lines at once and there is not flickering.

Answer 5

I think what you are refering to is RGB color. (red, green, blue). RGB color is used in video or electronics such as computer and television. RGB is a color model, but it doesn't define those colors. It's an additive color grouping in which the red, the green and the blue are added together in various ways to produce an array of colors. For more information, look up RGB. I gave you the simple version of something that is complicated.

Side note: for print color the color model is CMYK

Answer 6

The color on my TV is going out, I only see blue!

Answer 9

The three basic colors are Red, Blue, and Yellow. All other colors can be made by mixing the above three. This is done in your TV using three electron guns, placing the needed colors at the required pixel. HD TVs have many more pixels, but the same three colors.

Answer 10

Red, Green and blue.

Answer 11

most people think its the three primary colours that they learnt in school, red yellow and blue. but when talking about the light spectrum, every single colour can be made by adjusting the amounts of RED, BLUE and GREEN light. if you've still got a crt tv, go up really close when its on and you can see each pixel, i tried counting them one time, i might have missed one or two.
