frame buffer - Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (26 May 2007) :

  frame buffer
  
     <hardware> Part of a video system in which an image is
     stored, pixel by pixel and which is used to refresh a
     raster image.  The term "video memory" suggests a fairly
     static display whereas a frame buffer holds one frame from a
     sequence of frames forming a moving image.
  
     Frame buffers are found in frame grabbers and time base correction
      systems, for example.
