Hmm, interesting. Then I don't think I've ever seen that myself, I thought you were talking about the strobe effect, that's the only thing I associate with 7-segment displays (or other lights) in dark environments. I'll have to experiment with it sometime :P
Also, I guess I stand corrected about the response time difference!
It worked best with alarm clocks because the outline of the clock was likely 100% only picked up by rods, but the display is visible clearly by the cones. So if you picked it up and moved it, the display would seem to move independently of the case it was part of.
I think the second link does suggest the difference between response times varies between people. So, maybe it's just more noticeable by some?
