First one is a Planar 512x256 electroluminescent display.
By sending it a 50% alternating XOR pattern I could see the burnin pretty easily. It came out of some sort of optical insepection rig.

100 and -100v flybacks, for row/columns. The drivers are by NEC, which are very similar to SUpertex serial in, parallel out HV shift regs.
There is a NEC asic directing the incoming bitstream.
Driving it with a Cyclone III here. This is the sort of thing that's trivial on fpga but impossible with a cpu.
It is a very bright orange when lit. It is kinda like a warm OLED.

It's actually very meaty, about 10 inches long. Very thin actually. Was going to put it in my car but it's way too big.
