    Rater Scan and Random Scan Display

    Raster scan displays work by sweeping an electron beam across the screen from top to bottom, left to right, to illuminate pixels in rows and refresh the screen multiple times per second. The screen is refreshed at least 30 times per second to prevent flicker. Random scan displays instead direct the electron beam only to parts of the screen where an image is to be drawn based on mathematical equations, drawing pictures line by line from a display list. They offer higher resolution and smoother lines than raster displays but require more processing and have limitations on screen density and color capability.

    Raster Scan Display


    Raster : A rectangular array of points or dots.

    A raster image is a collection of dots called pixels

    Working of raster scan


    display
    In a raster scan system, the electron beam is swept
    across the screen, one row at a time from top to
    bottom.
    As the electron beam moves across each row, the
    beam intensity is turned on and off to create a pattern
    of illuminated spots.
    The return to the left of the screen, after refreshing
    each scan line is called Horizontal retrace.
    At the end of each frame the electron beam returns to
    the top left corner of the screen to begin the next
    frame is called Vertical retrace.

    The lines numbered as 0,1,2,3,4,5..10 represent lines that the


    electron beam is painting on the screen from left to right.
    When the beam reaches the right side of the bottom line, it has to
    move back to the upper left corner of the screen.

    Interlacing
    The screen is painted 60 times per second but only half of
    the lines are painted per frame.
    The entire screen, in two passes, is painted 30 times
    every second.
    An effective technique to avoid Flicker.(Flicker occurs on
    CRTs when they are driven at a lowrefresh rate, allowing
    thebrightnessto drop for time intervals sufficiently long
    to be noticed by a human eye)

    DISADVANTAGE

    To increase size of a raster image the pixels


    defining the image are be increased in either
    number or size Spreading the pixels over a
    larger area causes the image to lose detail and
    clarity.
    Produces jagged lines that are plotted as
    discrete points

    Random Scan Display


    Random scan display is the use of geometrical primitives
    such as points, lines, curves, and polygons, which are all
    based upon mathematical equation.

    Working
    When operated as a random-scan display unit, a CRT has
    the electron beam directed only to the parts of the screen
    where a picture is to be drawn.
    Random-scan monitors draw a picture one line at a time
    and for this reason are also referred to as vector displays
    (or stroke-writing or calligraphic displays).

    Refresh rate depends on the number of lines to be


    displayed.
    Picture definition is now stored as a line-drawing
    commands an area of memory referred to as refresh
    display file (display list).
    To display a picture, the system cycle through the set
    of commands in the display file, drawing each
    component line in turn.
    Random scan displays are designed to draw all the
    component lines of a picture 30 to 60 times each
    second

    Advantages
    Random scan displays have higher resolution than
    raster systems.
    Vector displays product smooth line drawing.
    Requires little memory.
    On zooming in, and it remains smooth
    The parameters of objects are stored and can be later
    modified.

    Disadvantages
    Requires intelligent electron beam, i.e. processor
    controlled.
    Limited screen density before have flicker, cant draw a
    complex image.
    Limited color capability.
