It’s a vector display.
Perhaps one of the most widespread device that used a vector display was the original Asteroids arcade game.
There’s a functioning machine at the Alamo Drafthouse in San Francisco (at least there was last time I went there), I can’t help but stare at it (and give a mini display history lesson to friends) every time I go. Those lines are just so crisp and bright and beautiful.
