REPORT ON 7-SEGMENT DISPLAY
INTRODUCTION
A seven-segment display is an electronic device designed to
represent decimal numerals and some alphabetic characters using seven
segments arranged in a figure-eight pattern. Each segment can be
illuminated individually, allowing the display of numbers from 0 to 9.
These displays are commonly found in digital clocks, calculators, and
measurement instruments due to their clear visibility and simple design.
The display operates by using binary input to control which segments

light up, making it an efficient way to convey numerical information.
Their versatility, low cost, and low power consumption n have made
seven-segment displays a popular choice in both consumer electronics
and industrial applications, underscoring their significance in modern
technology.

 Seven Segment Displays

Seven segment displays are the output display device that provides
a way to display information in the form of images or text or decimal
numbers which is an alternative to the more complex dot matrix
displays. It is widely used in digital clocks, basic calculators, electronic
meters, and other electronic devices that display numerical information.
It consists of seven segments of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) which are
assembled like numerical 8.
 Circuit Diagram
 Truth Table
We can produce a truth table for each decimal digit
Therefore, Boolean expressions for each decimal digit that requires

respective light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are ON or OFF. The number of
segments used by digit: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are 6, 2, 5, 5, 4, 5,
6, 3, 7, and 6 respectively. Seven segment displays must be controlled
by other external devices where different types of microcontrollers are
useful to communicate with these external devices, like switches,
keypads, and memory.
 Types of Seven Segment Displays

According to the type of application, there are two types of
configurations of seven-segment displays: common anode display and
common cathode display.
In common cathode seven segment displays, all the cathode
connections of LED segments are connected together to logic 0 or
ground. We use logic 1 through a current limiting resistor to forward
bias the individual anode terminals a to g.
Whereas all the anode connections of the LED segments are connected
together to logic 1 in a common anode seven segment display. We use
logic 0 through a current limiting resistor to the cathode of a particular
segment a to g.
Common anode seven segment displays are more popular than cathode
seven segment displays because logic circuits can sink more current than
they can source and it is the same as connecting LEDs in reverse.
 Applications of Seven Segment Displays

1. Digital clocks
2. Clock radios
3. Calculators
4. Wristwatches
5. Speedometers
6. Motor-vehicle odometers
7. Radiofrequency indicators
 Advantages of Seven Segment Displays
 Simplicity: Seven Section Presentations are straightforward and

simple to use since they just showcase mathematical digits (0-9)
and a couple of characters like A-F for hexadecimal numbers.
 Cost-viable: Seven Section Presentations are generally modest and

require less parts to work than different sorts of showcases like
LCDs or OLEDs.
 Disadvantages of Seven Segment Displays
 Limited usefulness: Seven Section Presentations are restricted to

showing mathematical digits and a couple of characters, which can
be a disservice in applications that require more mind boggling
shows like designs or message.
 Limited review points: Seven Fragment Showcases have

restricted survey points, and that implies that the presentation
might be hard to peruse from specific points or in splendid
daylight.
 Common Cathode (CC) Configuration

In the common cathode configuration, all the cathodes (negative
terminals) of the seven LEDs are connected to a common ground.
Display segments are controlled independently by applying a HIGH
(Logic 1) voltage to the anode of the particular LED. On applying the
HIGH signal to an anode, current flows from the anode to the common
cathode, and accordingly, the respective segment lights up.
 Common Anode (CA) Configuration

In an anode common configuration, the positive terminals of the
seven LEDs are connected together to a common positive voltage.
Typically, this is VCC. Individual segments are turned on by grounding
the respective cathode. A LOW, or logic 0, voltage at a cathode sends
current flowing from the CA, through the LED segment, to ground and
turns it on.
 Conclusion
Thus, seven-segment displays are an integral part of digital
electronics since numeric information gets presented easily and with
simplicity. Having found applications in a host of electronic and digital
applications, from calculators and clocks to more complicated digital
devices, they are relatively easy in terms of design and use. Be it a
hobbyist or a professional, knowing how to interface and drive a seven-
segment display is a skill that will pay dividends for their electronic
projects.
Even with advancing technology day in and day out, seven-

segment displays can still be envisioned as a sure and more economical
approach to numeric output. Their ease of use and wide application
make them arguably one of the most persistent elements in electronics
design.
