An Up Down Arrow LED Display, also known as an Up Down Direction Arrow Display or LED Direction Indicator, is designed to show direction-based information using illuminated arrow symbols. It is used where users need quick visual confirmation of upward movement, downward movement or directional status.
Unlike numeric seven segment displays, arrow LED displays are symbol-based indicators. They are selected for applications where movement direction, process direction or equipment status must be communicated instantly without using text or numbers.
Alfa Electronic Components supplies Up Down Arrow LED Displays for elevator panels, industrial electronics, machine interfaces, control panels, equipment indicators and custom display assemblies. The available range includes 9 variants with different arrow sizes, body dimensions, pin counts and polarity options.
Up and Down Direction Indication
The main function of this display is to provide clear visual direction indication. The up and down arrow format is especially useful in applications where movement or flow direction must be shown immediately.
It can help indicate:
- Lift or elevator movement direction
- Upward and downward equipment movement
- Conveyor or machine direction
- Process direction
- Position change indication
- Mode or status direction
- Operator guidance in control panels
This makes the product suitable for both commercial and industrial applications where simple and direct direction communication is required.
Suitable for Elevator and Lift Display Panels
Up Down Arrow LED Displays are widely used in elevator and lift indication systems. They help users identify whether the lift is moving upward or downward and are commonly installed in elevator car panels, landing panels and direction indicator modules.
Compact sizes are suitable for smaller lift panels and PCB-based indicator modules, while larger body sizes are useful where better visibility is required.
Available Arrow Size Range
The range includes arrow sizes from 0.25 inch to 0.56 inch.
The 0.25 inch and 0.28 inch models are suitable for compact indicators and space-restricted PCB layouts.
The 0.39 inch and 0.4 inch models offer a practical balance between size and visibility for lift panels, control modules and equipment direction indicators.
The 0.56 inch models are suitable for applications requiring clearer visibility, larger symbols or wider equipment panels.
Pin Configuration Options
The available models include 4-pin, 6-pin and 10-pin configurations. Pin count and pin function vary depending on the model and display construction.
Buyers should not select a model based only on arrow size or body dimensions. The pin configuration, pinout and electrical connection must be verified before PCB design or production.
Common Anode and Common Cathode Options
The range supports both Common Anode and Common Cathode configurations. The correct polarity depends on the driver circuit and electrical design of the application.
Common Anode and Common Cathode versions are not directly interchangeable in every circuit. Buyers should confirm the required polarity before finalising the display model.
PCB Mount Direction Display
These displays are suitable for PCB-mounted electronic products and display assemblies. Buyers should confirm body size, arrow size, pin count, polarity and latest approved technical drawing before finalising PCB layout, enclosure design or front-panel opening.
