A bit of theory.
Vfd display schematic.
A vacuum fluorescent display vfd is a display device once commonly used on consumer electronics equipment such as video cassette recorders car radios and microwave ovens.
A simple driver for vfd displays.
Almost zero cost hopefully easy to find parts.
The filter section of the vfd uses capacitors an inductor to filter the voltage current.
The dc bus is identified by the dc the dc wires that run through the length of the vfd circuit.

These things used to confuse me but they are actually rea.
Please view our large selection of vacuum fluorescent display below.
Hacking the vfd display the hard way.
You may find one in your car dvds radios casette players etc also there are may kinds of vfd display modules available.
I think it is helpful starting off by telling you how a vacuum fluorescent display works.
But since we want to keep the circuit board as small as possible we will write our own driver and design our own simple driver circuit.
The capacitors have a pre charge circuit that allows the capacitors to reach full charge slowly so that they are not damaged.

Vfd displays have been replaced by the new display technologies today but the quality of display a vfd gives is unbeatable.
Different types of vfds are available in the electronics and electrical market ranging from small motor related applications to the high power induction motors.
A vfd operates on the principle of cathodoluminescence roughly similar to a cathode ray tube but operating at much lower voltages.
In this video i will be showing you just how simple a vacuum fluorescent display vfd is to use.
Vacuum fluorscent displays vfd are available at mouser electronics from industry leading manufacturers.
Mouser is an authorized distributor for many vacuum fluorescent display manufacturers including matrix orbital newhaven display noritake.
The frequency determines the motor rpm and by controlling the ac frequency the motor rpm can be controlled.
We have seen how to reverse engineer pinouts of three vacuum fluorescent display vfd devices.
