| 11:00 | Storage Tube Displays or: How You Get 4K Resolution in 1974 | Richard Thomson | In 1969 Tektronix introduced the Type 611 11-inch storage display unit for $2500. Tektronix subsequently integrated the storage display and serial communication circuitry into a line of graphics terminals, including the Tektronix 4014 terminal capable of 4K addressable points resolution in 1974. In this talk, we'll go over the history of the storage tube display and its impact on computer graphics. |
