Seven-segment Display Character Representations - Display Pattern Tables

Display Pattern Tables

The tables below show alternative seven-segment display patterns for the Hindu-Arabic numerals, the 26 letters of the English language part of the Latin alphabet, and the Greek alphabet. Although the designs for digits are now mostly universal, there is no conventional set for all letters, i.e. ad-hoc solutions prevail, some using two consecutive segment arrays for a single symbol (see 'K', 'M', 'N', 'T', 'V', 'W', 'X') and most employing a unicase design. Hence the patterns shown have been used to various degrees, some are virtually unused. Note that letters are usually left-aligned (chiefly 'uppercase i' but not 'lowercase L' because have down segment on), while the digit one '1' is right-aligned. Sometimes the most intuitive shape may not be used because it was ambiguous with a different character.

Famous quotes containing the words display, pattern and/or tables:

    “Voluptuaries, consumed by their senses, always begin by flinging themselves with a great display of frenzy into an abyss. But they survive, they come to the surface again. And they develop a routine of the abyss: “It’s four o’clock ... At five I have my abyss.””
    —Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)

    “A two-week-old infant cries an average of one and a half hours every day. This increases to approximately three hours per day when the child is about six weeks old. By the time children are twelve weeks old, their daily crying has decreased dramatically and averages less than one hour. This same basic pattern of crying is present among children from a wide range of cultures throughout the world. It appears to be wired into the nervous system of our species.”
    —Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

    “Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs,
    Rising or falling, grasping at kisses and toys,
    Advancing boldly, sudden to take alarm,
    Retreating to the corner of arm and knee,
    Eager to be reassured, taking pleasure
    In the fragrant brilliance of the Christmas tree....”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
