Fine Pitch CRT The Fine Pitch CRT Tube is new exciting technology developed by Panasonic.  It delivers better resolution, contrast and sharpness through the advancement in electron gun/mask technology.  The DQ-DAF gun delivers new fine beams, allowing finer pitch (or holes) in the SST (Super Slot Tension) mask.  This in turn delivers more phosphors (approx 1080) per scanning line.  The end result is superior overall picture quality.
