  2. Vacuum fluorescent display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_fluorescent_display

    A VFD operates on the principle of cathodoluminescence, roughly similar to a cathode-ray tube, but operating at much lower voltages. Each tube in a VFD has a phosphor-coated carbon anode that is bombarded by electrons emitted from the cathode filament. [1] [2] In fact, each tube in a VFD is a triode vacuum tube because it also has a mesh ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openclipart

    Openclipart, also called Open Clip Art Library, is an online media repository of free-content vector clip art.The project hosts over 160,000 free graphics and has billed itself as "the largest community of artists making the best free original clipart for you to use for absolutely any reason".

  4. Visual comparison - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_comparison

    A colour chart is used for this purpose in many contexts such as chemistry, cosmetics, medical testing and photography. Comparison by eye may also be used as a source of amusement or intelligence testing, as in the popular puzzle of spot the difference. In policing, the technique is used for analysis of fingerprints and identity parades.

  5. Comparison of CRT, LCD, plasma, and OLED displays - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_CRT,_LCD...

    For the majority of images it will consume 60–80% of the power of an LCD. OLED displays use 40% of the power of an LCD displaying an image that is primarily black as they lack the need for a backlight , [ 35 ] while OLED can use more than three times as much power to display a mostly white image compared to an LCD.

  6. Contrast (vision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_(vision)

    Contrast is the difference in luminance or color that makes an object (or its representation in an image or display) visible against a background of different luminance or color. [1] The human visual system is more sensitive to contrast than to absolute luminance; thus, we can perceive the world similarly despite significant changes in ...

  7. Comparison diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_diagram

    There are different types of comparison diagrams called comparison diagram/chart in theory and practice, such as Table, data visualized in a tabular form; Matrix based models, for example the balanced scorecard; Quantitative charts such as line chart, bar chart, pie chart, radar chart, bubble chart, scatter diagram etc. Scale comparison diagram

  8. Variable-frequency drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive

    Small variable-frequency drive Chassis of above VFD (cover removed). A variable-frequency drive (VFD, or adjustable-frequency drive, adjustable-speed drive, variable-speed drive, AC drive, micro drive, inverter drive, variable voltage variable frequency drive, or drive) is a type of AC motor drive (system incorporating a motor) that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the ...

  9. Nixie tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixie_tube

    The VFD uses a hot filament to emit electrons, a control grid and phosphor-coated anodes (similar to a cathode-ray tube) shaped to represent segments of a digit, pixels of a graphical display, or complete letters, symbols, or words. Whereas Nixies typically require 180 volts to illuminate, VFDs only require relatively low voltages to operate ...
