Remember the electroluminous valves? (I'm not 100 % on that word...)
Those looked (any `round today?) like ordinary "radio valves" and
had got one electrode (anode? cathode?) per digit. The advantage of
this is beautiful digits.
Now, could you do the same with LCD?
Yes, if you can manufacture multi-layer LCDs, it should be possible.
You will have to have ten segments, one per digit, or maybe fewer, if
you use the same "small circles" for 6, 9, and 8...
Has anyone heard of or seen anything like this done? I have not.
