A cathode-ray tube in a bulb comprising:
- an anode target region formed on the inner surface of said bulb;
- an electron gun for emitting an electron beam;
- and
- a reflecting electrode for generating a planar reflecting electro-potential surface which reflects the electron beam from said electron gun, said electrode being positionally disposed to directly face both an oncoming electron beam emitted from said electron gun and said anode target and including a plurality of resistors interconnected in a mesh configuration, and wherein controllable potential levels are applied across a plurality of pairs of diagonally opposite resistor terminal portions of said mesh configuration for generating a planar reflecting electro-potential surface having a controllable orientation with respect to the face of said reflecting electrode so as to effect scanning of said electron beam over the entire anode target region from said planar reflecting potential surface.
