Raster

Video image produced on a screen by a video display device that scans phosphors with an electron beam to produce the image. Phosphors are materials that glow when excited by an electron beam. By scanning phosphors of primary colors, a color image can be developed. The raster is the color image derived from the scanning of the phosphors.
