When selectively updating a small object at a very high rate on a raster screen, an annoying flicker can occur. The flicker is not constant; the small object appears solid at times, and at other times it appears to go black or look like a ghostly image that is hardly there. This phenomenon is known as band flicker.  1, record 4, English, - band%20flicker

A CRT device that requires the refreshing of its screen presentation at a high rate in order that the image will not fade or flicker. The refresh rate is proportional to the decay rate of the phosphor(light sensitive coating on CRT). Refresh display requires continuous interaction with the host computer and display controller.  3, record 5, English, - refresh%20display

When the requirements of television were first established, it was necessary to decide on a standard repetition rate for showing complete pictures, that is the number of complete frames per second. It was finally decided that thirty complete pictures would be displayed on the screen each second. These complete pictures are referred to as frames. A frame frequency of only thirty pictures per second would result in a flicker discernible to the eye, so each picture is divided into two parts called fields. Two fields must be produced in order to make one complete picture or frame.  3, record 6, English, - frame
