Nixie Tubes - the technology

Nixie tubes were one of the first styles of digital displays. They used vacuum tube technology of the day. They're known for their individually formed numbers and soft orange glow.
Nixie's quickly went out of fashion due to high cost, high voltage interface, and delicate construction.
