Monochrome plasma displays were fairly common on portable computers from the late 80's and early 90's. This was before even a 10" monochrome LCD was cost effective. They were usually red, or orange, and struggled to handle even 4 shades. I have an old IBM 286 portable with a plasma display. I'll have to drag it out to take some pictures. |
