A new vacuum tube which puts vacuum fluorescent display technology to practical use is in distribution from RS Components.
Nutube, similar to a conventional vacuum tube, has an anode grid filament structure, and operates exactly as a triode vacuum tube. Also similar to a vacuum tube, it creates the same characteristic rich overtones. By applying their vacuum fluorescent display technology, Noritake Itron Corp., a Noritake Co. Ltd affiliated company, have devised a structure which achieves substantial power saving, miniaturization, and quality improvements when compared with a conventional vacuum tube.

You are right, but we thought worth of re-sharing as they are now available for sale.
I thought I saw stuff on Tindie selling them a while back ago.
