On peut classer les afficheurs [de la planche de bord] en deux catégories, selon qu'ils sont "actifs" ou "passifs". L'afficheur actif émet lui-même la lumière, l'afficheur passif ne fait que moduler la lumière qui provient d'une source extérieure. (...) Parmi les afficheurs actifs on peut citer les diodes électroluminescentes, les tubes à décharge de gaz, les éclaireurs fluorescents à grille, les procédés électroluminescents au phosphore, les procédés à incandescence. 3, record 2, French, - afficheur%20actif
