I'm working on a clock to be run off an arduino. I have most of my hardware down, including an LED controller chip, an RTC breakout board, etc. I have hooked up some 7 segment LEDs and am working on the code, but I have one big problem:
My project calls for very large displays. specifically, I'm looking to match the displays here, which look to be 7" (5.25" character height) dual character displays. they also interestingly have commas in the corner (instead of the decimal point on most 7 segment displays).
I've looked on various sites (octopart, jameco, many many more) but so far havent come up with many options. I found a 7" single character on sale at a couple sites (including element14), but it isn't a great match. I know there must be more variety made, as I see these all the time for scoreboards and such.
Does anyone know where I might find these displays?
