Green 7-segment clock display - 0.56 digit height

Enhance your next project by integrating our stunning 4-digit seven-segment display into a clock, timer, or counter. These vivid and sharp displays are ideal for adding numeric output. Each digit features a decimal point, and there's an extra wire for colon-dots in the center, perfect for time-based projects. With a brightness of 15.6mcd, you can adjust the current to save power or increase it to 20mA for maximum brightness. These multiplexed, common-cathode displays can be controlled with a 74HC595 or 8 microcontroller pins, and NPN transistors or a TPIC6B595 are needed for the cathodes. We highly recommend our backpack version with an LED driver on the back, as this raw display requires more effort to operate. It comes in a bright green color, and we offer many other sizes and colors too!

Using this 7-segment display is easy. First, decide if you want to use the raw display or the backpack version. The backpack version is more convenient as it has an LED driver on the back. For the raw display, you'll need to connect it using a 74HC595 or 8 microcontroller pins for the anodes and NPN transistors or a TPIC6B595 for the cathodes. You can adjust the brightness by changing the current. To save power, use less current. If you want maximum brightness, set it to 20mA. When handling the display, be gentle to avoid any damage. Clean it with a soft, dry cloth if it gets dirty. Remember, the raw display requires more work to get running, so if you're new to this, the backpack version might be a better choice. We also have different sizes and colors available, so you can pick the one that suits your project best.
