Vector Display Graphics
Bright line drawings made by steering an electron beam directly on a screen. Arcade games such as Asteroids in 1979 used it for crisp glowing shapes with trails.
Spot it
- 01Thin glowing white lines
- 02Bright overlapping intersections
- 03Faint phosphor afterglow
Why it happens
The beam draws each line directly between coordinates instead of scanning a grid, so lines remain sharp and bright, with overlapping lines adding up and the phosphor lingering.

Image edit prompt“Convert this image into a 1970s vector display: only thin bright white and pale green lines on pure black, glowing intersections where lines overlap, slight phosphor afterglow and beam overshoot at corners, minimal detail and a curved CRT bloom. Keep the original subject and composition.”
