what is it's use?

The largest use of neon is in making the ubiquitous ‘neon signs’ for advertising. In a vacuum discharge tube neon glows a reddish orange color. Only the red signs contain pure neon. Others contain different gases to give different colors.

Neon is also used to make high-voltage indicators, diving equipment and lasers.

Liquid neon is an important cryogenic refrigerant. It has over 40 times more refrigerating capacity per unit volume than liquid helium, and more than 3 times of liquid hydrogen.
