Introduction
Raster scan architecture is a type of image scanning and
display technology used primarily in CRT (Cathode Ray Tube)
monitors and other display systems, where the screen is drawn
line by line, from top to bottom, in a continuous pattern.
Defination:
How Raster images are
formed??
• Basically raster images are formed by
combination of small pixels.Small pictures
combine together to form a larger images.
Application of Raster Scan
Architecture:
• Computer Monitors & TVs
• Graphics & Image
Processing
• Gaming & Entertainment
• Medical Imaging
• Printing & Publishing
Why Raster Scan is Preferred?
✔Supports high-resolution, full-color graphics
✔ Enables smooth shading and anti-aliasing
✔Capable of handling motion graphics efficiently
✔Compatible with modern digital display technology
Architecture of Raster scan
• This architecture consists of three main components: Frame buffer, Video
controller, and Display processor.
• The image which has to be displayed is saved in a binary format (0s and 1s) in the
refresh buffer memory.
• Then, a video controller is used to scan each and every line of the Frame
buffer/Refresh Buffer Memory.
• The lines are scanned from left to right
and when a line is finished, again the
controller moves to the next line and
scans the line from left to right, and so
on.
• Then, a frame buffer memory, which
holds the coordinates of all the screen
points, is used to determine the
coordinates of the screen.
• After that, the actual image is
produced in the Cathode Ray Tube.
Advantages of Raster Scan System
• Better Resolution – Raster scan systems provide high-resolution images
with smooth shading and fine details.
• Supports Complex Graphics – It can display detailed images, including
curves, shaded areas, and realistic textures.
• Efficient Color Handling – Supports multiple colors and gradients for rich
visual representation.
• Cost-Effective – Cheaper than vector scan systems because it uses
standard display technology.
• Memory-Based Storage – Images are stored in a frame buffer,
making it easier to edit and manipulate.
• Refresh Control – Uses a refresh buffer to continuously update the
display, ensuring a stable image.
• Widespread Use – Used in TVs, monitors, and digital screens,
making it a standard in display technology.
Disadvantage of raster scan system
• Slow Response Time – The screen updates pixel by pixel, which can
cause lag in fast-moving images, making it unsuitable for high-speed
applications like gaming.
• High Power Consumption – The continuous scanning process
requires more power compared to other display technologies.
• Flickering Issues – If the refresh rate is too low, flickering can occur,
leading to eye strain and discomfort.
• Limited Resolution Scaling – Increasing resolution significantly can
slow down the refresh process, making it inefficient for very high-
resolution displays.
• Complex Memory Requirements – A large frame buffer is needed
to store pixel data, increasing memory usage compared to vector
displays.
• Screen Burn-in – Prolonged display of static images can cause
permanent burn-in, reducing screen lifespan (especially in older
CRTs).

Conclusion:
The Raster Scan System is an efficient and widely used display
technology that offers high resolution, rich colors, and smooth
image rendering. Its cost-effectiveness and ability to handle
complex graphics make it ideal for monitors, TVs, and digital
screens.
