So it looks like short-persistence phosphors are the ones with the highest burn-resistance, and data certainly favors P31
I was hoping that long-persistence phosphor would have higher burn resistance; I always liked "old" IBM 3278 terminals from the early 1980's that had a very pleasant green color and they didn't seem to burn easily. The long persistence allowed lower-speed logic to control the raw video, and as a result, it had excellent clarity. No dot-smear at all, which was common with other CRTs at that time. If anyone knows what type of phosphor was used, please post. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
