Display Segments | Basic numeric displays (e.g., clocks) | 14-segment design (supports 0-9 numerals) | Cost-effective for simple applications | Limited to basic alphanumeric characters |
| Advanced data displays (e.g., POS systems) | 16-segment design (supports 0-9, A-Z, symbols) | ▲ Supports uppercase letters and special chars | ▲ Higher cost vs base models |
Backlight Brightness | Indoor signage (e.g., retail counters) | 800 cd/m² (meets ISO 9001 standards) | Energy-efficient for indoor use | Insufficient for direct sunlight |
| Outdoor signage (e.g., traffic boards) | 1200 cd/m² (complies with NEMA 250) | ▲ Visible in bright environments | ▲ Higher power consumption |
Durability | Office equipment (e.g., printers) | Plastic housing (IP54 rated) | Lightweight and affordable | Susceptible to extreme humidity |
| Industrial machinery (e.g., control panels) | Metal-reinforced housing (IP65 rated) | ▲ Resists dust/water ingress | ▲ Heavier and bulkier |
Power Consumption | Battery-operated devices (e.g., sensors) | 0.8W (meets Energy Star criteria) | Prolongs battery life | Limited brightness adjustments |
| Always-on displays (e.g., digital signs) | 1.5W (with PWM dimming control) | ▲ Adjustable brightness for energy savings | ▲ Slightly higher heat output |
Customization | Standard displays (e.g., calculators) | Fixed-segment programming (ISO 3801 compliant) | Plug-and-play simplicity | No character modification |
| Custom branding (e.g., vending machines) | Reconfigurable segments (via ASCII code input) | ▲ Supports logos/symbols | ▲ Requires external firmware tools |
Operating Temperature | Indoor HVAC systems | -10°C to +50°C (per IEC 60068-2-1) | Reliable in moderate climates | Fails in extreme cold/hot conditions |
| Outdoor kiosks (e.g., ticket machines) | -25°C to +60°C (complies with MIL-STD-810) | ▲ Operates in extreme environments | ▲ Requires additional thermal protection |
