Looks like a 5x7 matrix device. I have a much larger one used in pinball displays (32 x 128) in my future-projects box.

Could you post some photos here? Does the display you have work like nixie (cold cathode discharge in neon) On Wednesday, 10 July 2013 21:21:37 UTC+1, greg...@hotmail.com wrote: Looks like a 5x7 matrix device.

[neonixie-l] Re: ZM1251
Interesting device. I found this video showing its capabilities. The thing that seemed interesing about the ZM1251 is that in the datasheet it looks like there is actual lead for every pixel and it must be relatively old device, because the datasheet is from 1973. But i might be wrong, because all information i have is the one link i posted.

Nixie tubes contain a single anode, and multiple cathodes that glow. The neon matrix device uses multiplexed anodes and cathodes. To illuminate pixels, a single particular row is energized, and so are the columns for each pixel that is to be illuminated. The electric field around an energized row is not sufficient in itself to illuminate a pixel (same is true for a column). But when an energized row meets an energized column, there is sufficient field-strength to initiate a discharge. I believe that adjacent unenergized rows and columns have low-enough leakage so that a discharge cannot spread. You may recall that the sustaining field for a discharge is significantly lower than required to initiate it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group.

[neonixie-l] Question about trigger tube
Hi all, I am new to the forum. I have previously built clocks using b7971 nixies. I have been gathering parts for a trigger tube or neon bulb ring counter clock. After searching for the past few days,I have not had any luck finding trigger tubes,which I understand to be a neon bulb with an extra wire. The xc18 info I found lists no substitutes. I have a bag of ne2's and in3's. I was wondering if anyone knew of a russian substitutes for the xc18? Any suggestions and advice would be very much appreciated.

However, I don't know how equivalent they are. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group.

[neonixie-l] Re: ZM1251
I've had some success with a 256 x 64 version of one of these displays. https://sites.google.com/site/tristansideas/electronics/pinball-display-clock You can achieve grayscale by using several sub-frames. It's a pity there hasn't been much spare time to work on that particular project and finish it off.
