Difference Between Raster Scan System and Random Scan System

Uploaded by

Devender Baghel

The document compares raster scan and random scan display systems. Raster scan sweeps the electron beam across the screen row by row, giving lower resolution but allowing realistic displays. Random scan directs the beam only where needed, allowing higher resolution and line drawings from instructions in a display file.
