Abstract:
This fluorescent display tube includes an anode and a plurality of filament-shaped cathodes both provided in an envelope, a support as one of a pair of support bodies which support the cathodes is electrically divided for each of the cathodes and at the time of driving, and a cathode driving IC gives pulse voltages to the cathodes at different timing. Since the voltages are applied to the arranged cathodes sequentially, current flowing through the cathode driving IC can be small as compared with a case where voltages are simultaneously applied to a plurality of cathodes. Heat generation of the cathode driving IC is suppressed, and costs required for the cathode driving IC are reduced.

Abstract:
A BUSINESS MACHINE WHICH PRESENTS ON THE FACE OF A CATHODE-RAY TUBE A VISUAL DISPLAY OF ITEM AND QUANTITY OF ITEM SELECTED WHEREIN THE FACE OF THE CATHODE-RAY TUBE IS DIVIDED INTO DISCRETE AREA, THE AREAS BEING WORKED TO IDENTIFY SPECIFIC ITEMS AND ITEM AND AMOUNT SELECTING CONTROLS WHICH, WHEN ACTIAVATED EFFECT THE GENERATION OF A DIGIT ON THE FACE OF THE CATHODE-RAY TUBE WITHIN A SPECIFIC DISCRETE AREA TO IDENTIFY THE ITEM SELECTED AND THE QUANTITY OF THE ITEM SELECTED.
