digital readout

Electronic number display

A digital readout is a display that shows information as numbers rather than through analog indicators like dials or gauges.

Found on everything from clocks to measuring instruments, digital readouts present data directly: The digital readout showed 98.6 degrees.

The term often refers to the display component itself or the entire device featuring one.
