I think it's called a VFD, or vacuum fluorescent display. Wikipedia explains it, but I just enjoy looking at it.

I'm pretty sure that these are Panaplex displays. The same type used in the HP 9815, in the Compucorp/Monroe 3XX series and several other calculators from mid 1970's.

Thanks Katie, I think you are right.

This guy called it a Panaplex display, but this other guy called it a VFD, but he didn't even know what keys it had, so I should not have believed him for display type.

Ah, the Internet ...
