What character display is this ? [SOLVED]

[Oneminde]

I hope I am posting in the right area.

I have been searching for a specific character display and the only one I know of who is using it is Luxman, the audio company. Since there are several types available, I think I need some help here.
The display in the Luxman product seem to use a very small pixel area, smaller than the ones I am used to seeing. Any help is appreciated. Here are two pictures showing the display.

Isn't it just a neon plasma dot-matrix display?  A vendor like Luxman would have to use some obscure weird-looking display just because they are Luxman and have an audiophool image to maintain.  Note the completely gratuitous firebottle prominently displayed in the window next to the plasma display.

Not plasma, does are round like pinball machine.

That font doesn't look like any character display. It's a graphics display and the host CPU generates frame data from a software font.
I bet it's a yellow OLED.

I have looked at that, but the space between the led's does not match, but are you saying that one can mimic a high resolution display with graphics ?

Perhaps with this one

"Large FL display

The D-380 features a large, high quality, high visibility FL display with 4x zoom mode – a useful tool for remote operation from a listening position at distance from the system. The orange colour of the display takes into consideration the illumination environment of a listening room, whilst a dimmer (illumination switching) function can turn the display light off completely"



In normal mode it looks like a normal yellow character display.. but what does FL mean ? fluorescent light display

VFD with a yellow filter.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

The pixel pitch on a VFL is a match. Its much smaller than an OLED. The other thing is you need a large display with equal pixal pitch in order for the zoom effect to be used. So, a display that is very close in spec and size is the Noritake Itron VFD GU256X128D-3xxxB.

Vacuum Fluorescent Display has been around for a long time and is one of the most light intense displays of this type, also it has the finest pixel pitch of them all. So there we go. Luxman use a large VFL display with continues pixel grid. Simulation of that is shown in the picture I have attached.

Thanks guy's, this made my day

Uhhh....  A VFD can be made with pretty much whatever sized and shaped elements the designer requires.

I guess so. But each individual display development will cost a large sum of money ... he he
