Display technologies

• Filament lamp (indicator lamp)
• Vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) (preformed characters, 7 segment, starburst)
• Cathode ray tube (CRT) (dot matrix scan, radial scan (e.g. radar), arbitrary scan (e.g. oscilloscope)) (monochrome & colour)
• LCD (preformed characters, dot matrix) (passive, TFT) (monochrome, colour)
• Neon (individual, 7 segment display)
• LED (individual, 7 segment display, starburst display, dot matrix)
• Split-flap display (numeric, preprinted messages)
• Plasma display (dot matrix)
• OLED (similar to an LCD, but each pixel generates its own light, can be made flexible or transparent)
• Micro-LED (similar to OLED, but uses inorganic LEDs instead of organic ones, does not suffer from screen burn-in, however it cannot be made flexible or transparent)

Obsolete:

• Incandescent filament 7 segment display (aka 'Numitron')
• Nixie tube
• Dekatron (aka glow transfer tube)
• Magic eye tube indicator
• Penetron (a 2 colour see-through CRT)

Vacuum tubes (valves)[edit]

A vacuum tube is based on current conduction through a vacuum (see Vacuum tube).

• Diode or rectifier tube
• Amplification
  • Triode
  • Tetrode
  • Pentode
  • Hexode
  • Pentagrid (Heptode)
  • Octode
  • Traveling-wave tube
  • Klystron
• Oscillation
  • Magnetron
  • Reflex Klystron (obsolete)
  • Carcinotron

Optical detectors or emitters

• Phototube or photodiode – tube equivalent of semiconductor photodiode
• Photomultiplier tube – phototube with internal gain
• Cathode ray tube (CRT) or television picture tube (obsolete)
• Vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) – modern non-raster sort of small CRT display
• Magic eye tube – small CRT display used as a tuning meter (obsolete)
• X-ray tube – generates x-rays
