Newhaven Display Vacuum Fluorescent Displays (VFDs)
Newhaven Display Vacuum Fluorescent Displays (VFDs) are engineered to deliver high-contrast, high-brightness visual output in environments where reliability and readability are essential. These VFDs use self-emitting phosphor technology sealed within a vacuum envelope. This design eliminates the need for backlighting while offering wide viewing angles, fast response times, and long operational life.
VFD Overview
Dot Matrix VFDs
The bare glass vacuum fluorescent displays are designed for direct integration into custom systems and enclosures. Dot matrix VFDs use dot-based character construction to support alphanumeric data, symbols, and simple graphics with exceptional clarity.
FEATURES
• Flexible dot-matrix character formation (commonly 7 or 5x8)
• High brightness and contrast without backlighting
• Excellent readability across wide viewing angles
• Stable performance across wide temperature ranges
• Ideal for custom electronics and front-panel integration
APPLICATIONS
• Industrial instrumentation and control panels
• Medical and laboratory devices
• Measurement and diagnostic equipment
• Audio, broadcast, and communication systems
Dot Matrix VFD Modules
These modules integrate VFD glass with onboard driver and controller circuitry, providing a complete and ready-to-use display solution. The dot matrix VFD modules simplify system design while retaining the optical advantages of vacuum fluorescent technology.
FEATURES
• Integrated driver and controller electronics
• Standard dot-matrix character formats
• Serial and parallel interface options
• Single-supply operation for simplified power design
• LCD-compatible footprints for drop-in replacement designs
• Reduced bill-of-materials and development time
• Simplified microcontroller integration
• Consistent brightness over temperature extremes
• Elimination of backlight degradation concerns
7-Segment VFDs
These VFDs are optimized for numeric readouts where fast recognition, high contrast, and reliability are essential. The 7-segment displays offer clearly defined segments that provide uniform illumination for time, count, and measurement values.
FEATURES
• Bright, evenly illuminated numeric segments
• High contrast on deep black background
• Wide viewing angles for multi-user visibility
• Reliable operation in varying lighting conditions
• Long service life for continuous operation
APPLICATIONS
• Industrial timers and counters
• Test and measurement instruments
• Audio and video equipment displays
• Status, monitoring, and indicator panels
