The Samsung 16LF01UA3, 16LF01UA4 and VFM161LSA1 all use the OKI MSC1937-01 VFD controller witch is a clone of the original Rockwell 10937 VFD controller.

Any VFD display that is based on the Rockwell 10937 VFD controller or one of its clones like the OKI MSC1937-01 or Micrel MIC10937 are compatible with this library.

Think of the Rockwell 10937 as the HD44780 for LCD displays, maybe you can rename the library to reference the name of the controller instead of a single module that is based on that controller.

The 9MS09SS1 display that also works uses a ML9209-xx VFD controller and a Nuvoton W78E052DPG microcontroller to translate the incompatible ML9209-xx protocol to the Rockwell 10937 protocol.

Thank you for inform about that. I personally own only the 16LF01UA4 display so I thounght was a protocol used for only this type of Samsung displays.

I don't know how it's better to rename the library, maybe I can fork my own library and name it properly.
