Abstract
A cathode-ray tube provided with a luminescent screen comprising a luminescent indium orthoborate activated by trivalent chromium. The tube yields an efficient emission in the near infrared part of the spectrum. If the borate further comprises Eu as an activator, an efficient Eu.sup.3+ emission is obtained in addition to the Cr emission.
