I can't see how that would work for a VFD (or CRT for that matter) - the pixels have a finite life and get darker with usage. Hence why some are darker than others (they're used more often). Just lighting up the whole display would start wearing them all out equally - but they'd all get dimmer at the same rate so the difference would remain (although non-linear wear might make the difference more/less noticable).
LCDs are a little different in that ghosting can occur temporarily and can sometimes be relieved by holding at full intensity for a while. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63882 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
