Add readable letters, numbers and symbols to your next electronics project with this compact 14-segment LED display. Compared with a standard seven-segment module, the extra segments make it much more suitable for alphanumeric readouts.
The display uses a common-anode configuration and provides four 14-segment digits. Each digit also includes its own decimal point, giving you flexibility for clocks, counters, status displays and compact user interfaces.
A datasheet is available from the manufacturer for pinout and electrical details, making it straightforward to design into a custom PCB or wire into a prototype.

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.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
