It's not every day that a piece of tech history is uncovered, but don't go searching through your old tech hoping to find a hidden gem.

    Looking at it, I think it might be an one of those old mono LCD displays? The video makes it look like it’s a bunch of small individual ones rather than a large continuous display.

      Holy shit… it’s a large dot matrix plasma display. Haven’t seen one of those in ages.

      That project has pictures that show you how they looked/worked.

          Oh those things are super cool, soviet era display technology had a great aesthetic. This YouTuber had some great videos on them
