Alright, I'm looking for any information (name, datasheet, concept, IEEE publications, etc) on the display used on the 50-series of Texas Instruments programmable calculator.

REF: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-58

It appears to be a resin globe with 'filaments' in the shape of a modern seven segment display and including extra digits. I don't remember exactly how many there are total but I think it's actually an 11 segment display (4 extra on the diagonals)

Does anyone have any idea what these are?

Regards,
Ben

 

Hello,

Here is a large version of the 16 segments display:

Another multiple display is this one:

Yes, I'm actually looking for any information on this specific type of display as I have some similar parts in a pile of scrap I just picked up and I think they would look pretty spiffy on my wrist.

Anyone else have any idea what these are?
