Yorktown display architecture
The advances in VLSI and CRT technology over the past ten years have resulted in feasible implementations of raster-scan displays capable of displaying complex images with reasonably high resolutions. Single chips capable of storing 64 Kilobits can be used to build memory systems capable of storing such high resolution images. The ability to manipulate these high resolution images interactively requires the ability to change a large amount of information rather rapidly.At the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, we have built a display system which addresses the problem of changing high resolution display images rapidly. The system was design to allow the rapid manipulating of images in wide range of applications. The applications planned include text formatting, computer aided design, and image processing applications which process digitized images.
