rebeltaz 36 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 On another topic, does any one have any idea where to get 3.5-4" bright blue LED 7-segment displays? The ones that I built for my clock are nice and I think they are going to work, but I would really like to offer the clock for sale and it is a PAIN to create these displays on a larger quantity scale, you know? Thanks.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rampadc 29 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Aliexpress has some in bulk of 50 but it can be quite expensive. [http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Blue-7-Segment-Display-LED-7-Segment-4-0-4-inch-1-Digit-Single-Common-Anode/2054065145.html] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rebeltaz 36 Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Holy cow! That link didn't work, but I did find that on their site and expensive is right! I found these - http://www.ebay.com/itm/310610985717 - but I'm not sure the brightness of them yet. I've got an email in to the seller, but... if anyone knows of anywhere else... I'm still shopping.

rockets4kids 204 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Oddly, you can get an entire Android tablet with the same display size for only a little bit more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rebeltaz 36 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 In case anyone else would like to play around with really large displays, I found these - http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/LED-Segment-c-34_78/?terms_id=216&ref=crumb - They sell 8", 5" and 3" displays for less than $10 each (only $3.50 for the 3" displays), but they are only in red and green. I guess you make make a Christmas countdown clock I did find the blue displays on eBay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/310610985717 - for only $35 for a set of five. Just thought I'd share that in case someone else might want a set for Christmas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
