Vacuum Fluorescent Displays (VFD's) have been widely accepted for automotive applications such as electronic instrumentation panels, electronically tuned radios, and information displays because of their self-emissivity, high luminance capability, and high reliability. Color shift capability for VFD's, which is the ability to change color of a given segment, has been discussed as part of the recent automotive display trends towards multi-functional displays with high information content. This paper will report on the VFD color shift system achieved by the use of a Liquid Crystal Color Shutter (LCCS).
