Oh, what's a few orders of magnitude amongst engineers, anyway? ;-)

What type of display is used in things like VCR, tape deck and microwave 
displays?  It looks like it is almost a type of gas plasma/fluorescent 
type of thing.  Many of my older devices with those type of displays now 
have considerable and uneven loss of brightness.

I sort of recall LEDs having pretty poor reliability many moons ago, 
when they were mainly seen in NASA spacecraft, those large wrist watches 
and Texas Instrument calculators, but I think 30 years has had it's 
effect upon the design, eh?
