This purple LED display gives you four alphanumeric digits with 14 segments each, so it can show far more than a standard seven-segment numeric display. It is suited to projects that need numbers, letters, characters or symbols in a compact panel display.
The display is a common-anode type and includes one decimal point per digit. It can be used in clocks, counters, status readouts, control panels and other maker projects where a readable multi-character display is needed.
A datasheet is available from the manufacturer for pinout and electrical details.
Features:
- Purple display
- Four 14-segment digits
- One decimal point per digit
- Displays numbers, characters and symbols
Specifications:
- Polarity: Common Anode
- Max forward voltage: 3.6V
- Continuous forward current: 20mA
- Dimensions: 40mm x 11.95mm
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- common-anode
- A wiring arrangement where several LEDs or LED segments share a common positive (anode) terminal and are switched individually on their negative (cathode) side. Common-anode and common-cathode parts, such as RGB LEDs, seven-segment displays, matrices and strips, are not interchangeable without a suitable driver.
- continuous forward current
- The amount of current a diode can carry in its normal conducting direction for an extended time without overheating. This rating helps you choose a diode that can safely handle the load in your circuit.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
