Vector displays draw lines specified by endpoints, while raster displays use an array of pixels to form images. Vector displays only draw lines and characters, whereas raster displays can display solid colors and patterns. Additionally, vector displays directly control the electron beam of a CRT and do not require scan conversion hardware, allowing the images to scale to any size without quality loss. In contrast, raster displays use scan lines and may experience distortion and aliasing when zoomed.

3. Raster Display
Raster displays, typically have
an array of addressable dots
called as pixels , which can be
individually set to a particular
color or intensity, which together
forms an image.

4. Vector Display
Vector displays generally
display lines specified by their
endpoints.
 Vector display systems
operate by direct control of the
electron beam of a cathode ray
tube. (CRT)

Vector Display Raster Display
They are composed of pixels.
Raster display has ability to
display areas filled with solid
colors or patterns.
They are composed of paths.
Vector display only draws lines
and characters.

Vector Display Raster Display
In raster scan display the beam is moved
all over the screen one scan line at a time,
from top to bottom and then back to top.
In vector scan display the beam is
moved between the end points of
the graphics primitives.

Vector Display Raster Display
Scan conversion hardware is
required.
Distorted after Zooming.
 Aliasing is the jagged appearance of
primitives as displayed on a raster
device. This phenomenon is also
known as “the jaggies”.
Scan conversion hardware is not
required.
Vector graphics can be scaled to any
size without losing quality. i.e absence
of aliasing.

Cost is low.
 Used for display purpose.
Raster graphics file formats are
JPEG, GIF and PNG.
Cost is more.
Used for Printing purpose.
Vector graphics are commonly
found today in the SVG,EPS
and PDF
