Can someone point me to these mainstream LED displays? Are we talking about calculators, or were there 80x25 terminals that used LEDs?
(Also interesting fact... "LED" was displayed capitalized on my screen but copy-pasted as lowercase. Indeed, in the DOM, the text is "led". I'm extra confused as to why someone would do that!)
- wrs 6y agoI was trying to parse that too. “Computers” were themselves not commonplace, and even within that rarefied subcommunity, “screens” were CRTs, not LEDs. LEDs were limited to seven-segment digits and individual dots. I think “LED” is in small-caps, which is correct for typographical purposes, but requires the underlying text to be lowercase.
