A 5×7 Round Dot Matrix Display is a compact LED display component used to create readable characters, numbers and symbols using a matrix of illuminated dots. The display contains 5 vertical columns and 7 horizontal rows, giving a total of 35 LED dot positions.
Unlike seven segment displays, which are mainly designed for numeric digits, a 5×7 dot matrix display can form alphabets, numbers, symbols and basic graphic patterns. This makes it suitable for electronic products where character display or short-message indication is required.
Alfa Electronic Components supplies a range of 5×7 Round Dot Matrix Displays for industrial electronics, embedded systems, instrumentation, control panels and custom LED display assemblies. The available range includes compact sizes for small instruments and larger dot matrix displays for improved visibility.
The round LED dot construction gives the display a clean and traditional matrix appearance. Characters are created by lighting selected dots in the 5×7 grid.
This format is useful for displaying:
The actual character appearance depends on the driving circuit, dot-mapping pattern and software control used in the application.
The range includes dot sizes from 1.9 mm to 10 mm.
Smaller dot sizes such as 1.9 mm, 2.54 mm and 3 mm are suitable for compact instruments, embedded devices and space-restricted PCB layouts.
Medium and larger dot sizes such as 5 mm, 7.62 mm and 10 mm are suitable for display panels, message displays and applications where the character must be visible from a greater distance.
Alfa Electronic Components offers 5×7 Round Dot Matrix Displays in body heights from 0.7 inch to 4.0 inch.
The compact 0.7 inch and 1.0 inch models are useful for small electronic devices, handheld instruments and PCB-based character indication.
The 1.2 inch and 1.5 inch options provide a practical balance between readability and product size.
The 2.0 inch, 3.0 inch and 4.0 inch variants are suitable for larger panels, equipment displays, industrial indication systems and message display applications.
A 5×7 dot matrix display is commonly selected when the product needs to show more than only numbers. It is useful where short words, letters, codes, abbreviations, symbols or scrolling text must be shown.
This makes it suitable for electronic instruments, telecom equipment, control systems, token systems, machine indicators, embedded modules and industrial display boards.
These dot matrix displays are suitable for PCB-mounted electronic products. Buyers should confirm the body size, dot size, pinout, electrical configuration and latest technical drawing before finalising PCB layout or production.
Since dot matrix displays require row-column control, the driving circuit should be planned according to the selected model, required brightness and character-scanning method.

Established in 1992, Alfa Electronic Components supplies LED display components for industrial electronics, instrumentation, embedded systems and electronic equipment manufacturing.
Our 14/16 Segment Alphanumeric Display range supports applications where numbers, letters and short codes need to be displayed clearly in compact LED format.
A 14/16 Segment Alphanumeric Display is an LED character display that can show numbers, alphabets and selected symbols using multiple illuminated segments.
A seven segment display is mainly used for numbers from 0 to 9. A 14 or 16 segment display can show alphabets and more readable character shapes, making it suitable for codes, labels and status indications.
Available digit sizes include 0.39 inch, 0.5 inch, 0.53 inch, 0.54 inch, 0.8 inch, 1.0 inch, 1.2 inch, 1.5 inch, 2.0 inch and 2.3 inch.
Alfa Electronic Components offers 15 variants across single digit, dual digit, three digit and four digit alphanumeric display formats.
Yes. The range includes Common Anode and Common Cathode configurations. The correct option depends on the circuit and display driver.
Yes. 14/16 segment displays are designed to show alphabets along with numbers and selected symbols, depending on the driver circuit and character design.
They are used in industrial instruments, controllers, panel meters, test equipment, fault code displays, status indicators, embedded electronics and electronic control systems.
Yes. It can be controlled using a suitable microcontroller or driver circuit with correct polarity, current limiting and segment-control design.
No. The datasheet is for product-selection reference only. Confirm the latest approved technical drawing before finalising the PCB.
