Adafruit Red 7-segment clock display - 1.2" digit height

Enjoy the versatility of our candy-bar sized 4-digit seven-segment display, perfect for creating clocks, timers, or counters. These vibrant displays offer crisp numeric output and include a top-right dot and two sets of colon dots, ideal for time-based applications.Featuring 38mcd brightness per segment, each segment is designed with two LEDs in series, ensuring uniform coloring. Power efficiency is achieved by driving the display with less current or maximizing brightness at 20mA.These displays are multiplexed, common-cathode, requiring minimal components such as a 74HC595 or 8 microcontroller pins for control. Use NPN transistors or a TPIC6B595 to manage cathodes, handling up to 120mA per digit.Opt for our backpack version with an integrated LED driver for easy setup. This bright red display offers a striking visual, with other sizes and colors available for diverse project needs.
