A Quick Video about Displays (and featuring a weird one)
Added 2019-10-17 03:14:28 +0000 UTCWell, October's gotten off to a slower start than I wanted but I was happy to have a bit of fun with this one!
It's definitely less researched than most of my projects. And a tad bit sillier. But hopefully entertaining!
CED Part 3 is almost certainly going to be the next project completed. I'm nearly finished with the book I've been reading on it and want to dedicate the remainder of the week (and the start of the next) to writing. It will be a challenge, 'cause there's so much good stuff!

We a bit of like silly science 😜👍

2019-10-18 04:38:06 +0000 UTCDon't forget the 2 way radios even in the mid 2000's! I have a Motorola XTL5000 that just looks sexy in a late 90s pickup.

2019-10-17 20:03:05 +0000 UTCi remember changing the LCD displays on my calculator and a watch from black numbers on a gray background to gray numbers on a black background. i took them apart and flipped the polarizers. it would have been trivial to do that at time of manufacture and so I assume that's pretty much all JVC had to do.

2019-10-17 15:13:55 +0000 UTCI do recall hearing about these.

2019-10-17 14:30:30 +0000 UTCYou should have put a little “Those count” at the end of the credits. But that was a pretty good joke.

2019-10-17 04:58:58 +0000 UTCI believe those LCDs with the black background are called "negative mode LCDs". They were somewhat common on 90s era audio equipment, but the incandescent backlight bulbs tended to burn out. That happened to my parents' early 90s Alpine car radio, and a neighbor also gave me a late 90s boom box with a bad backlight. After putting in a green LED it worked great for years!

2019-10-17 04:41:48 +0000 UTCI got a Yamaha KX-W900 cassette deck that also has this style of LCD display, neat bright red and yellowish green colors. It's from around the same era as your JVC amplifier, the two would fit together pretty well I guess :-)

2019-10-17 04:38:44 +0000 UTCDo you have any old hand-held video games from the early '80s? The ones that used VFDs had a quirk in that whenever the game played a sound, the display turned off. There are some examples here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaz275iQI0o It would be neat to see one of those games taken apart.

2019-10-17 04:02:39 +0000 UTCGonna be tomorrow, I'm afraid. Probably pretty late in the day, as well, as I've got some non-youtubey work to do during the day

2019-10-17 03:56:01 +0000 UTCAahh yesss. I love weird displays, I have quite a collection. I'm currently looking for a plasma TV because now seems like a good time to get a nice one (and small!) for now much. I've got nixies, LCD, LED, VFD. a POV glow in the dark display I made. A laser projector (with galvos) that I made in school. Also a 0.5" B&W CRT ( from old camcorder viewfinders, they often take composite input) For computers, I've got a serial dumb terminal (adm3a, super retro style), orange/black ttl display, color cga display, a couple 15khz RGB displays, gas plasma laptop, transreflective text LCD laptop, transreflective graphic LCD laptop (both B&W), backlit probably passive matrix LCD laptops. There are probably more I'm forgetting right now :) At a garage sale I recently scored this temperature monitor: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8691unxw3zq98jt/2019-09-30%2021.03.49.jpg?dl=0 which seems to be the same sort of style of colorized LCD, but with 4 different color sections. (I think this is just filters though) I think eevblog has a video about a different type of color LCD, that uses multiple colors of LED backlights, and times different color pulses with different segments on the screen, make a type of color display. unfortunately I can't find it in my quick searching :(

2019-10-17 03:38:43 +0000 UTCI would totally buy a display/monitor that advertised itself as having "Liquitron LumaPlus" technology.
2019-10-17 03:25:40 +0000 UTCDoes this includes Closed Captioning(tm) or I have to wait until tomorrow?
