An eight-segment display is a type of display based on 8 segments that can be turned on or off according to the font pattern to be produced.
It is similar to a nine-segment display whose middle vertical bars are vertical, except that on an eight-segment display, the bars F and G are merged.
Applications
It was used, for instance, in the calculator Sharp EL-8, producing more rounded digits than a Seven-segment display.
