seven-segment

LED digit display

Seven-segment describes a display technology using seven individual bars arranged in a figure-eight pattern to form numerals 0–9 and some letters.

Digital clocks, calculators, and appliances use seven-segment displays: The microwave's seven-segment readout showed 3:00.

Each segment lights independently, creating different characters by which combination is active.
