Interlace

v. interweave, cross over and under as if woven together; intertwine, mingle together

For the method of incrementally displaying raster graphics, see Interlace (bitmaps).For the decorative motif used in ancient European and Celtic art, see Migration Period art and Celtic knot. Interlace is a technique of improving the picture quality of a video signal without consuming any extra bandwidth. It was invented by RCA engineer Randall C. Ballard in the 1930s.<ref name=Ballard"> It was ubiquitous in television until the 1970s, when the needs of computer monitors resulted in the reintroduction of progressive scan. Interlace is still used for most standard definition TVs, and the 1080i HDTV broadcast standard, but not for LCD, micromirror (DLP), or plasma displays; these displays do not use a raster scan to create an image, and so cannot benefit from interlacing: in practice, they have to be driven with a progressive scan signal. The deinterlacing circuitry to get progressive scan from a normal interlaced broadcast television signal can add to the cost of a television set using such displays. Nevertheless as of 2006, progressive displays dominate the HDTV market.
