Talk:Seven-segment display

Making 7-seg numbers on dot-matrix displays

Number displays on LCDs are often seven-segment too, and one see seven-segment done with lightbulbs on big scoreboards, so one could say that this is a general technique for displaying numbers with on-off elements. Stan 21:49, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)~

Capital N

How do you make a capital "N" with 7 segment display? I don't see how that is possible dispite the article's claim. --Anonymous

See below---capital N to the left, lowercase n to the right. As you see, the "capital N" is really nothing more than a double-height lowercase n. Not obvious at all, I guess.

 AAAA
F    B
F    B
F    B
            GGGG
E    C     E    C
E    C     E    C
E    C     E    C

As noted in the article: to make out some of the letters mentioned requires previous experience and some good will as well, I'd say. :-) We should make an illustrative graphics image of the letters to clarify this. I'll do it if no one else beats me to it. --Wernher 15:35, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
