Another book scanned by Martin Forsberg.

In the beginning there was the Nixie and Burroughs made it. Today, readouts permute endlessly by technology, size, color, form factor, font, vendor, and price, with no end in sight.

This course directs itself toward the engineer who uses, and will use, displays, and how he can choose from and implement the myriad options. Each display technology will be explained, but most of the course will be concerned with applications and various factors of design significance, not processing significance.

The scope of the course is flexible format digital readouts. The indicator that tells you that the engine is overheated in your car is a dedicated digital readout; since it is dedicated, it won't tell you when the oil pressure is low. On the other hand, an ex-ample of a flexible format readout is the message board in Times Square. You know that you can only observe a few symbols, but the sequence and message possibilities approach infinity including "your oil pressure is low!"
