The discussion revolves around gathering information and resources related to display devices, including historical and modern technologies. Participants share insights, references, and personal experiences regarding display technologies.
Participants generally agree on the value of the Society for Information Display as a resource for information on display devices. However, there is no consensus on specific types of display technologies or their applications, as discussions include both historical and contemporary perspectives.
The discussion includes references to specific display technologies without resolving the broader context of their applications or advancements. There is a lack of detailed technical specifications or comparisons between different display types.
This discussion may be useful for individuals interested in the history and development of display technologies, as well as those seeking academic resources on the subject.

I also saw 10-milliamp analog (current summing) meters used as decade output displays for 1-2-4-8 BCD counter decade counters driven by vacuum-tube (VT) set-reset (SR) flip flops. Unlike more modern decade displays, the Decatron tube was mesmerizing. See
