The VFD for the display on my kitchen's oven runs 24/7, and after 12 years there are very noticeable dark-bands near the filament, which is probably the result of higher bombardment of electrons onto the phosphor. The filament does not glow bright enough to see it, and it's always on.
So, if you have VFD's I guess you want to keep the filaments always-on, and blank the anodes when not in use. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
