The
Canon LE-100 was one of the few portable calculators using a precision and
LED-display of 10-digits. It was introduced together with the LE-81M.
From the technology the LE-100 is similar to the SR-10 introduced by TI few months earlier.
Later - and cheaper - calculators in the LE-line were the LE-83, LE-84 and LE-85.
Compare it with the Bowmar 901D.
Later in 1974 Canon introduced with the LD-80 their first pocket calculator with the green VF-Display (Vacuum Fluorescent) and stopped the LE-series.
