Is this the same kind of screen that was used on antique radars that I

Radar up to fairly recently was displayed on a CRT. I would guess like everything else they now use a computer flat screen monitor.

A CRT allowed a lot of the Math needed for the radar display to be actually done by analog means in the tube itself. Radar CRTS typically have P7 Phosphor.
