The DG12C is an eight segment display, capable of generating both numbers and signs.
Vacuum fluorescent display tubes share more in common with a cathode ray tube than they do with the Nixie tubes they tend to mimic. A VFD tube has a low voltage filament which is energized in a vacuum, causing electrons to boil off. Metal plates covered with a phosphor coating are charged to between 15 and 50 volts, causing electrons leaving the filament to strike the plates and illuminate the phosphor. Later models of VFD also have a control grid, a metal screen that is placed between the digit and the filament. The control grid acts as a valve, allowing the digit to be turned on or off without the need to power down and re-heat the filament
The display has a right decimal point and a left colon indicator. Digit height is 11 mm.

The thin glass tube envelope is 12 mm in diameter, and excluding the base wiress is 51 mm tall.
