7 Segment Display – Common Anode – 0.56 inch – Standard Size

Description

1. 7-Segment Display: It features a total of seven segments that can be individually illuminated to display numbers (0-9) and sometimes a few letters (like A, b, C, d, E, F) or special characters.
2. Common Anode: In a Common Anode configuration, all the anodes (positive terminals) of the seven segments are tied together and connected to a positive voltage source, while the cathodes (negative terminals) of each segment are individually controlled to turn them on or off. This is the opposite of Common Cathode displays.
3. 0.56 Inch: The display size is 0.56 inches, referring to the height of each segment. This is a standard size often used in various applications, providing good visibility for numeric displays.
4. Standard Size: This size is commonly used in digital clocks, timers, calculators, temperature displays, and other applications where compact, numeric LED displays are required.
5. Numeric and Some Letters: This type of 7-segment display is primarily used to display numeric digits (0-9) but can also show a limited set of letters and symbols, often by illuminating some segments in creative combinations.
