Red 7-segment clock display - 0.56 digit height

A red 4-digit 7-segment clock display with 0.56″ (14.2 mm) digit height. Each digit includes a decimal point, plus a centre colon for time-based displays. Bright at 18 mcd, these displays are easy to read and can be dimmed by reducing drive current to save power.

This is a raw multiplexed common-cathode display — it requires external driver circuitry such as a shift register (e.g. 74HC595) or dedicated LED driver. You'll need 8 microcontroller pins or a shift register to control the anodes (~15 mA each), and NPN transistors or a high-power shift register to sink up to ~160 mA per digit on the cathode side.
