while looking for 7-segment displays more in general,
I ran across a
data book that has some information about TI's TIL360 displays, which
seem to match your description of the outline (16pin dip, 1.02" long
by .4" wide, digit height .1"). The data book has a 1978 date, a bit
older than your chips.
Not the exact type, but this is what I have about the TIL360. YMMV,
but perhaps at least the pinout might be similar.
Looks like the pinout is indeed the same. It might be that the TIL360 and
DIS1291 are the same parts. The display I tested had a weak segment C in
digit 2...hopefully only 1 of the displays I have is flawed. I guess one
weak segment out of 48 isn't *too* bad for 21+ year old surplus displays.
Perhaps all of the displays I ended up with were factory rejects?
