  2. Vector monitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_monitor

    A vector monitor, vector display, or calligraphic display is a display device used for computer graphics up through the 1970s. It is a type of CRT, similar to that of an early oscilloscope. In a vector display, the image is composed of drawn lines rather than a grid of glowing pixels as in raster graphics. The electron beam follows an arbitrary ...

    A cathode-ray tube (CRT) computer monitor. A computer monitor is an output device that displays information in pictorial or textual form. A discrete monitor comprises a visual display, support electronics, power supply, housing, electrical connectors, and external user controls. The display in modern monitors is typically an LCD with LED ...

  4. Cathode-ray tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode-ray_tube

    The only visible differences are the single electron gun, the uniform white phosphor coating, and the lack of a shadow mask. A cathode-ray tube (CRT) is a vacuum tube containing one or more electron guns, which emit electron beams that are manipulated to display images on a phosphorescent screen. [ 2 ]

    Comparison of CRT, LCD, plasma, and OLED displays. The following table compares cathode-ray tube (CRT), liquid-crystal display (LCD), plasma and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display device technologies. These are the most often used technologies for television and computer displays. A less detailed comparison of a wider variety of ...

  6. Refresh rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refresh_rate

    Refresh rate. The refresh rate, also known as vertical refresh rate or vertical scan rate in reference to terminology originating with the cathode-ray tubes (CRTs), is the number of times per second that a raster-based display device displays a new image. This is independent from frame rate, which describes how many images are stored or ...

    The single fixed-screen mode used in first-generation (128k and 512k) Apple Mac computers, launched in 1984, with a monochrome 9" CRT integrated into the body of the computer. Used to display one of the first mass-market full-time GUIs, and one of the earliest non-interlaced default displays with more than 256 lines of vertical resolution.

  9. History of display technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_display_technology

    One of the earliest electronic displays is the cathode-ray tube (CRT), which was first demonstrated in 1897 and made commercial in 1922. [1] The CRT consists of an electron gun that forms images by firing electrons onto a phosphor -coated screen. The earliest CRTs were monochrome and were used primarily in oscilloscopes and black and white ...
