Really? I
thought vector displays normally use electrostatic
deflection, whereas raster displays normally use magnetic
deflection.
There's certainly nothing about either raster or vector
methodologies
that implies or precludes either type of deflection.
No, not strictly. But when it comes to moving large distances fast,
I'd rather be driving electrostatic than magnetic, partly because the
capacitor formed by deflection plates stores less energy than the
inductor formed by a deflection yoke, partly because I'd rather have to
generate a current spike than a voltage spike.
