One interesting Nixie-like display is the Lixie, which is a stack of edge lit acrylic layers, each with a single digit etched into them. Not the same aesthetic as a real Nixie, but still a pretty interesting and low power approach.
There's a Hackaday page for it at https://hackaday.io/project/165079-lixie-ii-the-newnixie-for-arduino https://hackaday.io/project/165079-lixie-ii-the-newnixie-for...
- GhettoComputers 5y agoHonestly it looks dreadful. The nixie isn’t high power usage as much as high voltage. In the dark you can probably better emulate it with an old android screen with oled. It looks like prison food of nixie clocks, where you want to build a clock, a nixie but cheap out and use something completely terrible, like a prison cake made of sugarless corn flakes. This looks much better. https://www.nycresistor.com/2011/10/15/el-wire-nixie-tubes/ https://www.nycresistor.com/2011/10/15/el-wire-nixie-tubes/
