Seven-segment displays are a type of electronic display device for displaying numbers. These are what you would commonly find in electronic clocks, appliances, and other electronic devices that display basic numerical information. The displays are comprised groups of 7 LED segments (hence the name) for each digit. The seven segments can be turned on or off to form the numerals 0-9 and some alphabets. These simple, bright red displays are perfect for adding an easy to read numeric output to a project.

This specific 7-segment display has 2 digits and 2 decimal positions – so readings from 0.1 up to 99 are possible. These displays are multiplexed, common-cathode so they are a great candidate for a shift register to save microcontroller pins.
