I'm trying to find some VERY small 7 segment displays. I need a part
that's small enough that 5 digits will fit into an inch long area. I'm
not having any luck and I'm hoping someone here might know where I can
find them.
I don't know where to find them, but LED calculators in the 70's sometimes
used 4 digit modules with a DIP-16 form factor. They looked like 4 bubbles
on top of a lead frame. That would make them about 3/4" for four; but I'm
not sure how you'd get 5 unless you could also find a 'single'.
Not very helpful, I know, but perhaps a step in the right direction...
