Abstract:
A direct view high intensity readout module primarily designed for seven segment digital readout systems in which seven incandescent bulbs are connected to a different pin of a nine terminal vacuum tube base, one of the terminals being common and one of the terminals preferably being coupled for a period indication. A light conveyor tube surrounds each of the incandescent bulbs on one end, the other end forming a segment of the seven segment numerical readout. A heat sink is in physical contact with each of the seven light conveyor tubes. A nonglare frosted face plate is cemented over the segment end of the light conveyor tubes.
