In this video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeEB2Lxbfa4>, they
definitely appear to be some kind of video displays, since they show
graphics before takeoff and have a very noticeable refresh. These
almost certainly were a later addition, presumably replacing the
7-segment displays that Tim mentioned (which can be seen at

Just found this article, and apparently the old displays were replaced
with the new ones shortly after the grounding in 2000/2001. This would
mean they are probably LCDs.
