Difference between Random Scan and Raster Scan Display - javatpoint

The document compares Random Scan and Raster Scan displays, highlighting that Random Scan uses an electron beam to create line images with high resolution, while Raster Scan controls pixels for realistic image display but has lower resolution. Random Scan is more expensive and easier to modify, whereas Raster Scan is less expensive but can produce flickering. The document also outlines the advantages and disadvantages of both display types.

Random Scan and Raster


Scan Display:
Random Scan Display:
Random Scan System uses an electron beam which
operates like a pencil to create a line image on the CRT
screen. The picture is constructed out of a sequence of

straight-line segments. Each line segment is drawn on


the screen by directing the beam to move from one
point on the screen to the next, where its x & y
coordinates define each point. After drawing the picture.
The system cycles back to the first line and design all the

process is shown in fig:

Random-scan monitors are also known as vector displays


or stroke-writing displays or calligraphic displays.

Advantages:
1. A CRT has the electron beam directed only to the parts
of the screen where an image is to be drawn.
2. Produce smooth line drawings.
3. High Resolution

Disadvantages: 

1. Random-Scan monitors cannot display realistic shades


scenes.

Raster Scan Display:


A Raster Scan Display is based on intensity control of

pixels in the form of a rectangular box called Raster on
the screen. Information of on and off pixels is stored in
refresh buffer or Frame buffer. Televisions in our house
are based on Raster Scan Method. The raster scan system

position, so it is
suitable for realistic display of objects. Raster Scan
provides a refresh rate of 60 to 80 frames per second.

Frame Buffer is also known as Raster or bit map. In


Frame Buffer the positions are called picture elements or
pixels. Beam refreshing is of two types. First is horizontal
retracing and second is vertical retracing. When the
beam starts from the top left corner and reaches the
bottom right scale, it will again return to the top left side
called at vertical retrace. Then it will again more
horizontally from top to bottom call as horizontal
retracing shown in fig:

Types of Scanning or travelling of beam in Raster Scan

1. Interlaced Scanning
2. Non-Interlaced Scanning

In Interlaced scanning, each horizontal line of the screen


is traced from top to bottom. Due to which fading of
display of object may occur. This problem can be solved
by Non-Interlaced scanning. In this first of all odd
numbered lines are traced or visited by an electron
beam, then in the next circle, even number of lines are
located.

For non-interlaced display refresh rate of 30 frames per



second used. But it gives flickers. For interlaced display
refresh rate of 60 frames per second is used.
