Grpahic displays fall into three categories, as is already well known. Two of them are storage and vector scan displays. The third is the raster scan terminal, which is widely used today because of its low cost. Though some of these kinds of terminals are imported from the USA, vector and raster scan displays, personal computers and image processors are currently being manufactured by Japanese computer mainframe and graphics equipment manufacturers. Terminals made in Japan are highly appreciated by graphics users. This popularity is due to their high reliability, versatility and short lead time between ordering and delivery.
