Hamilton reissues the Pulsar LED watch - BobVA - 03-19-2020 02:22 PM
Interesting display technology: A hybrid LCD/OLED that shows allows a subtle "always on" readout, but still has the classic "discrete dots" LED's when the button is pressed.
I'm hoping Bernhard is busy reverse engineering this for the HP-01 :-)
Quote:Rather than the LED-only display of the original, which left the dial completely dark when the button wasn't being used, the PSR has a hybrid display. Reflective LCDs ensure the dial remains readable during daylight hours, and pushing the button activates a matching OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display, giving the PSR the same scarlet, after-hours pop of the original.
