I have several boards and devices with small OLED displays and most of them have blocks of dead and/or dim pixels already, after only a few years. I also have several similar boards/devices with small LCD displays, and none of them have display degradation like the boards with OLED displays, despite some of them being much older than the ones with OLEDs. |

The Charactron or whatever generated those amazing screens of data in Mission Control back in the Apollo days. https://moon.nasa.gov/resources/234/view-of-activity-in-mission-control-center-during-apollo-15-eva/ And, of course, the Eidophor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eidophor |

The Eidophor is fascinating, it's one of those things that is more like the experiment of a mad scientist and hard to believe that it was viable as a commercial product but it sure was neat. It's too bad more of them haven't survived. |

I wonder if Shirley Bassey singing This is My Life has an Eidophor doing that rear projection thing It's still impressive today. |
