Difference between raster scan and random scan display?

In: Computer Monitors, Computer Programming, Tablets and Handheld Computers [Edit categories]

Answer:

Raster scan is based on television technology. In this the electron beam is swept across the screen, one row at a time 4m top to bottom, which creates a pattern of illuminated spots.
When a CRT is operated as random scan display unit 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 called as vector display.
