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.
