The area of digital electronics and computers is not imaginable without displaying data. Vacuum based display technologies were the first being able to visualise measurements on electronic circuitry with oscilloscopes and to reproduce video on TV sets. Another strong market for electronic displays started in the mid 1980s with the invention of personal computers. Despite the advantages of flat Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD), Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT) still (2007) have a high market share. However, there are also vacuum based Flat Panel Displays (FPDs), like Plasma Panel Displays (PDP) and Vacuum Fluorescent Displays (VFD) that are widespread in different applications.
