I wonder if modern tech could correctly illuminate vertical #RGB phosphor stripes (as in the #Trinitron) on a #CRT with a single electron gun and no shadow mask.
This was a Hard Problem™ when color TV was first being invented. The shadow mask and aperture grille were invented to solve the problem.
But now we have gigahertz-speed electronics. Could those modulate the beam with precise enough timing to not need a shadow mask or aperture grille?
