interlaced scanning
Scanning method in which half of the lines are scanned in one field (odd-numbered lines), and the other half are scanned in the next field (even-numbered lines). Thus adjacent lines of a complete picture (one frame) belong to successive fields. Interlaced scanning doubles the screen refresh rate as seen by the viewer and reduces flicker. At screen refresh rates significantly higher than the 25/30 frames/second used in TV systems, interlaced scanning may not be necessary.
