They are basically very intellegent raster display

an 8 character alphanumberic display for each function key that you can
use to label it).
Wow, this sounds like the Apricot Microscreen! The Apricot has a little
LCD panel near the function keys, which can be set up in software to
act as labels for the keys. I presume the Evans & Sutherland was
similar? Did it use LCDs or something older? Is there a photo
of it anywhere?
