cold-cathode tube

Just looking at the rapidly flickering cold-cathode tubes felt like an assault.

Cold-cathode tubes, whether gas filled or not, operating similarly to a spark gap, having all of the following characteristics: 1.

A Dekatron is a cold-cathode tube with multiple electrodes that is used for counting.

He also invented a cold-cathode tube that could amplify the small signal generated by the detection mechanism to a strength sufficient to activate an alarm.

It is therefore called a cold-cathode tube (a form of gas-filled tube), or a variant of neon lamp.

It used vacuum tubes, cold-cathode tubes and Dekatrons in its circuits, with 12 cold-cathode "Nixie" tubes for its display.

Several technological developments occurred between 1971 and 1976, including the replacement of cold-cathode tubes with solid-state circuitry, which greatly reduced the detectors' sizes and made it possible to monitor battery life.

Since transistor technology was still in its infancy, these machines used vacuum tubes, cold-cathode tubes, and Dekatrons in their circuits, and cold-cathode Nixie tubes for their displays.
