The filter section of the vfd uses capacitors an inductor to filter the voltage current.
Vfd display schematic.
The capacitors have a pre charge circuit that allows the capacitors to reach full charge slowly so that they are not damaged.
Please view our large selection of vacuum fluorescent display below.
But since we want to keep the circuit board as small as possible we will write our own driver and design our own simple driver circuit.
Different types of vfds are available in the electronics and electrical market ranging from small motor related applications to the high power induction motors.
Vfd displays have been replaced by the new display technologies today but the quality of display a vfd gives is unbeatable.
Lcds oled displays and led segment displays have now largely replaced vfds.
The frequency determines the motor rpm and by controlling the ac frequency the motor rpm can be controlled.

Mouser is an authorized distributor for many vacuum fluorescent display manufacturers including matrix orbital newhaven display noritake.
In this video i will be showing you just how simple a vacuum fluorescent display vfd is to use.
Vfd is the short form of a variable frequency drive or adjustable frequency drive.
Almost zero cost hopefully easy to find parts.
These things used to confuse me but they are actually rea.
A vfd operates on the principle of cathodoluminescence roughly similar to a cathode ray tube but operating at much lower voltages.
This circuit gives a pretty decent interface for like an arduino and can drive quite likely any vfd including the bulky tube vintage ones but matrix displays with a lot of segments are not a good idea by the way you can expand the circuit but thousands.

Vacuum fluorscent displays vfd are available at mouser electronics from industry leading manufacturers.
A bit of theory.
Hacking the vfd display the hard way.
You may find one in your car dvds radios casette players etc also there are may kinds of vfd display modules available.
A simple driver for vfd displays.
A vacuum fluorescent display vfd is a display device once commonly used on consumer electronics equipment such as video cassette recorders car radios and microwave ovens.
