There was another twist on the NIMO tube that used an external deflection yoke to show multiple digits on a single line; I believe it 4 or 6 digits. Never saw this 8x8 tube before; that must be one RARE device. In order for a NIMO tube to display multiple lines of multiple characters (like a CRT), it would need a deflection yoke for X and Y direction.
I feel sad for the folks at IEE who put so much time and effort into the NIMO tube. It's technologically clever, but a colossal execution and marketing failure; it missed the market window by about 10 years.
