    Once in Internet I found photos of giant soviet panel named IGG1 (ИГГ1). It was looking stunning!


    This panel made in two versions:
    IGG1–32x32 with 32x32 dots resolution
    IGG1–64x64 with 64x64 dots resolution

    Some technical data:
    Brighntness: 150–300 kd\m2;
    Minimal anode voltage: 210–240v;
    Working voltage: 400v
    Working voltage range: 370–420v
    Current per dot: 25 uA;
    Refresh frequency: 1000 Hz;
    Maximum cathode duty cycle: 64;
    Anode duty cycle: 32;
    Dimensions: 193x193mm;
    Weight: about 1 kilo.

    64 version have two alternates dots colors: green and orange

    Made at late 1980x — beginning 1990x at “Gazotron” factory (Rivne, Ukraine)

    Today I got one IGG-64 for test. Maybe do some table clock with Wi-Fi sync:)
    On photos it looks more smaller than in real life.
