Not Found On Ebay: KGM Edgelit Displays!!!

Thanks to viewer Nikolaus we have not one but TWO amazing New-Old-Stock KGM Edgelit Digital Displays!  Definitely a bucket list item, and never thought I'd have a pair in the lab, but here we are - so let's get to it!

Not Found On Ebay: KGM Edgelit Displays!!!

Beautiful. I've been thinking of recreating the effect with etched acrylic sheets and LEDs - but someone else has beaten me to it: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002430544473.html. I concede, not on eBay!

Damn, those are so beautiful! They'd be viable as a DIY project, too, especially with a 3D printer and laser engraver or desktop CNC. The hardest part would be bending the plastic, I think.

Maybe after I die someone else can do that work!

Yes - I think the acrylic is lightly coated to increase internal reflection, and that shows up in the profile.

You should do a font of all the symbol shapes from your display collection. That way at least the cool symbols can live on and populate other displays.

Wow!

When you were filming it in the dark, there seemed to be an infinity mirror effect going on that was really cool.

Fantastic

All you need now is a nuclear bomb, a way into Fort Knox and the world is yours!

This is my favorite kind of videos from Fran! Always showing us interesting technologies from yester-year! :)
