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.
By making the form smaller we have succeeded in making significant power savings requiring less than 2% of the electrical power of a conventional tube. This allows for efficient and simple battery operation.
Nutube is less than 30% of the size of a conventional vacuum tube.
The real triode structure produces a warm, unique vacuum tube sound, delivering excellent linearity.
Made in Japan. 30,000 hours of continuous life expectancy
Leading industries from the Mie Prefecture are being introduced in the annex of the International Media Center at the G7 Summit held on May 26 and 27,
Noritake Itron Corporation is showing VFD and its application products as an example of the cutting-edge technology. And of course Nutube will be included there!
Press with appropriate media accreditation can enter the Annex to see this exhibition.

Noritake Itron Corp.(Ise Electronics Corp.) a subsidiary of Noritake Co., Limited. Japan invented Vacuum Fluorescent Display in 1966. This unique display technology was introduced to world by the article of Electronics Magazine issued May 29, 1967. The first developed Single digit display tube contributed to the evolution of Electronic Calculators in 1970s. After the development of flat glass structure VFD in 1974 the applications have been expanded to Typewriters, Home appliances, Audio Videos, Automotive panels, Industrial instruments, Gaming machines, Medical and Communication equipments according to the technology progress. The Company name was changed to Noritake Itron Corp. in 2003, and we will continue to make our best to create and develop innovative technologies and products.
