digital display

Numbers on screens

A digital display is a screen or panel that shows information using electronic pixels or segments rather than mechanical parts.

Unlike analog displays with moving hands or dials, digital displays present numbers, text, or images directly: The digital display showed 3:47 AM.

Found on everything from alarm clocks to billboards.
