^^This. 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.

And, of course, the 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.
Alex Eisenhut:
I wonder if Shirley Bassey singing This is My Life has an Eidophor doing that rear projection thing
It's still impressive today.
