I made a smaller version of the orange ticking thing to put up on my desk.
This is using a Winstar 100x16 OLED which is almost the same resolution as the Morio Denki plasma panel — just a single column less wide! The screen is white with green cellophane added into it, so in person it looks a lot like a VFD in terms of color. The camera makes it a bit more blueish.

It also has a Taptic Engine inside for a nice mechanical ticking sound.
