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.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- common-anode
- A wiring style for multi-colour LEDs where the positive side is shared and each colour channel is controlled on the negative side. This matters because common-anode and common-cathode LED strips are not interchangeable without a suitable driver.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
