A common display found on digital watches and readouts that looks like a series of 8s. Each digit is formed by selective illumination of from one to seven separately addressable segments. For more ...

We’ve been displaying numbers using segmented displays for almost 120 years now, an invention that predates the LEDs that usually power the ubiquitous devices by a half-dozen decades or so. But LEDs ...

If you need a seven-segment display for a project, you could just grab some LED units off the shelf. Or you could build something big and electromechanical out of Lego. That’s precisely what [upir] ...

Recently, we published an entry-level Arduino project with a single seven-segment LED display. Although it’s an amazing DIY project, we noted that most of the readers are looking for more advanced ...

A display decoder is used to convert a BCD or a binary code into a 7 segment code used to operate a 7 segment LED display. Here we design a simple display decoder circuit using logic gates. A display ...

Many options exist to drive seven-segment LED displays, but most are limited to low output currents. The approach described here uses one 74ALS374 or 74AS374 octal latch, wired as a shift register, ...

Check out how to create a unique Mechanical 7 Segment Display using cardboard! In this video, we unveil a one-of-a-kind mechanism that we've invented, featuring 7 circles each with its own trigger.
