Name variations: Artificial interlacing
Sometimes incorrectly called interlacing, which can produce similar but not the same effect at times. What interlacing actually is, is when only every other line is updated on each screen refresh (swapping odd and even lines with each refresh), creating a sort of shutter blind like effect (every other line still shows the previous out-of-date frame) when it happens slow enough but otherwise being imperceptible.
