Definition of 7-segment display |
 | | Seven segment displays are commonly used in electronics as a method of displaying decimal numeric feedback on the internal operations of devices. |
 | | The letters that a seven segment display can produce are A, B, C, E, F, H, I, J, L, N, O, P, S, U, Y, and lowercase D, R and T. The seven segments are arranged as a rectangle of two vertical segments on each side with one horizontal segment on the top and bottom. |
 | | Seven segment displays can be found in patents as early as 1908 (United States patent 974943, for example), but did not achieve widespread use until the advent of LEDs and LCDs in the 1970s. |
