Abstract: A color display system that employs a penetration type CRT, a control circuit and storage elements for holding the information to be displayed to obtain multicolored rastered images is described. The CRT is capable of exhibiting a predetermined number of colors. The storage elements hold information that defines one frame for each displayable CRT color screen. The control circuit supplies appropriate video and drive signals for each color frame to be displayed, at the proper time and sequence, to the CRT. In particular, the control circuit is adapted to provide drive signals for horizontal and vertical electron beam deflection circuits that cause the beam to be scanned, both horizontally and vertically, at a rate that is a multiple of the predetermined number of colors to be displayed and the conventional scan rate for horizontal and vertical deflection.
