I'm familiar with many surplus sources, and these
actually are quite difficult to find. You might have
to take apart an old calculator or something similar
to get one. I have a few displays like this that you
might use; contact me off-list if you want one.

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...
