2. Flip-disc display - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-disc_display

   The flip-disc display (or flip-dot display) is an electromechanical dot matrix display technology used for large outdoor signs, normally those that will be exposed to direct sunlight. Flip-disc technology has been used for external destination signs on buses and trains across North America , Europe and Australia , as well as for variable ...

3. Text display - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_display

   A text display is an electronic alphanumeric display device that is mainly or only capable of showing text, or extremely limited graphic characters.This includes electromechanical split-flap displays, vane displays, and flip-disc displays; all-electronic liquid-crystal displays, incandescent eggcrate displays, LED displays, and vacuum fluorescent displays; and even electric nixie tubes.

4. Split-flap display - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-flap_display

   Flip-dot displays and LED display boards may be used instead of split-flap displays in most applications. Their output can be changed by reprogramming instead of replacement of physical parts but they suffer from lower readability. They also can refresh more quickly, as a split-flap display often must cycle through many states.

5. Display device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_device

   Split-flap display (or simply flap display) Flip-disc display (or flip-dot display) Vane display; Rollsign; Tactile electronic displays are usually intended for the blind. They use electro-mechanical parts to dynamically update a tactile image (usually of text) so that the image may be felt by the fingers.

6. Dot-matrix display - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-matrix_display

   A 16×2-character dot-matrix display, where each character is made from a grid of 5×7 dots. A dot-matrix display is a low-cost electronic digital display device that displays information on machines such as clocks, watches, calculators, and many other devices requiring a simple alphanumeric (and/or graphic) display device of limited resolution.

7. Variable-message sign - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-message_sign

   These were later replaced by dot matrix displays typically using eggcrate, fiber optic, or flip-disc technology, which were capable of displaying a much wider range of messages than earlier static variable message signs. Since the late 1990s, the most common technology used in new installations for variable message signs are LED displays. In ...

8. Fourteen-segment display - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen-segment_display

   Most of the ASCII characters (the double quote is missing) on a 14-segment display. Multiple-segment display devices use fewer elements than a full dot-matrix display, and may produce a better character appearance where the segments are shaped appropriately. This can reduce power consumption and the number of driver components.

9. Fiber-optic display - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_display

   Compared to eggcrate displays, dynamic fiber optic displays offered lower energy consumption due to requiring fewer bulbs, and offered improved nighttime legibility. For daytime legibility, they were sometimes combined with flip-disc displays to be reflective in daylight and emissive at night.
