Damper Wire
When viewing a white background, two very thin horizontal
lines may be visible on the screen as shown below. These lines
are the damper wires.
The Trinitron tube has a vertically striped aperture grille inside.
The aperture grille allows more light to pass through to the
screen giving the Trinitron CRT more color and brightness.
These damper wires are attached to the aperture grille to
prevent vibration of the aperture grille and keep the screen
image constantly stable.
