A seven-segment LCD display is a set of seven LCD (liquid crystal display) elements(segment), arranged to form a squared-off figure 8. If all elements are activated, the display shows a numeral 8. When some of the elements are activated but not others, any single-digit numeral from 0 to 9, as well as most uppercase and lowercase letters of the English alphabet, can be portrayed.
