Thanks Aaron. The DEC display is quite a bit newer than the old Plato design. I
had one of the Plato
terminals at one time and am quite familiar with them. I also had a digivue
standalone display at
one time, but don't recall what I did with it over the course of the years. At
that time, I did have
a full manual for it, including schematics, but I'm sure that went with the
display to it's new home.
I need to open the DEC VRE01 to see what the design looks like. The newer
design allowed it to be
very compact...

This
(https://eisner.decus.org/anon/htnotes/range?f1=INDUSTRY_NEWS&f2=491.0)
suggests that the VRE01 was made by Planar Systems, Inc., of Beaverton, OR.
Perhaps that might point you towards actual documentation.
There's also a fact sheet
(https://eisner.decus.org/anon/htnotes/range?f1=INDUSTRY_NEWS&f2=491.1).
I do remember the VRE01 appearing in the DEC catalogues of the 1990s but
I never saw one in real life. Perhaps the $11K price tag explains that :-)
