What is Bitmapped Display?

By Dinesh Thakur

Bitmapped Display: Strictly, a display in which each PIXEL on the screen is represented by a BIT stored in VIDEO MEMORY which would limit its applicability to black-and-white images only. More frequently used, however, to describe any display in which each pixel corresponds to a byte or word in video memory, which covers all contemporary computer colour displays. The term was coined in distinction to the now-obsolete VECTOR DISPLAY, which drew lines instead of pixels.
