DEC Flat Panel circa 1987 - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

7 Jul 2012

That display is a DEC VRE01 (electroluminescent flat panel) on a
VAXstation 3100

I have a new one - still in the box - I haven't tried it yet.. :-)

 I noticed this:
http://www.wickensonline.co.uk/images/flat-panel.jpg 
- the talk around this image is DEC World 1987.

Of this screen grab I know: VSXXX-GA mouse, LK201-AA keyboard.
Can anyone provide any more information please? 
Unfortunately I can't remember any details, I think I heard about it
years ago.

It looks a lot like the screen provided to the US Military sometime 
around 1992 as part of a 3rd party Sparc portable system though.
