Yes, I can recall seeing this being demonstrated (on whatever was the 70s version of Catalyst I guess) and being amazed! My first calculator had those green tubes to show the numbers and was the size of a brick. But remember how difficult those early LCDs could be to read unless you held them just right in the light.
