  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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Line art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_art

    Line art or line drawing is any image that consists of distinct straight lines or curved lines placed against a background (usually plain). Two-dimensional or three-dimensional objects are often represented through shade (darkness) or hue . Line art can use lines of different colors, although line art is usually monochromatic.

  5. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    An engineering drawing is a type of technical drawing that is used to convey information about an object. A common use is to specify the geometry necessary for the construction of a component and is called a detail drawing.

  6. Motor drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_drive

    With a variable-speed drive on the pump or fan, the supply can be adjusted to match demand and no extra loss is introduced. For example, when a fan is driven directly by a fixed-speed motor, the airflow is designed for the maximum demand of the system, and so will usually be higher than it needs to be.

  7. 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.

  8. 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 ...

  9. 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.
