The distance between two dots of the same color is called the 'Dot Pitch'. Unit: mm -Vertical Frequency The screen must be redrawn several times per second in order to create and display an image for the user. The frequency of this repetition per second is called Vertical Frequency or Refresh Rate. Unit: Hz Example: If the same light repeats itself 60 times per second, this is regarded as 60 Hz. -Horizontal Frequency The time to scan one line connecting the right edge to the left edge of the screen horizontally is called Horizontal Cycle. The inverse number of the Horizontal Cycle is called Horizontal Frequency. Unit: kHz -Interlace and Non-Interlace Methods Showing the horizontal lines of the screen from the top to the bottom in order is called the Non-Interlace method while showing odd lines and then even lines in turn is called the Interlace method. The Non- Interlace method is used for the majority of monitors to ensure a clear image.
