LED Display Components for OEM Electronic Equipment

Electronic equipment manufacturers require display components for communicating numerical values, measurements, time, characters, symbols, directions, levels and operating status.

The correct display depends on the type of product being developed and the information its user interface needs to communicate.

7 Segment LED Displays provide numerical indication for measurements, counts, temperatures, settings and other values.

Clock LED Displays can be incorporated into equipment requiring time and timer information.

Alphanumeric Segment Displays support applications requiring letters and numbers, while Dotmatrix Displays can be considered for characters, symbols and simple graphical information.

Arrow LED Displays provide directional indication, while LED Bar Graphs and LED Light Bars support level, range and visual status indication.

This broad selection allows OEM manufacturers to evaluate display components according to their PCB design, equipment dimensions, user interface and application requirements.

Why OEM Electronics Manufacturers Use LED Displays

Clear Numerical Indication

Seven Segment LED Displays provide a straightforward format for displaying measurements, counts, temperatures, settings, time and other numerical information.

Wide Range of Digit Configurations

Different electronic products require different numerical formats.

Alfa’s range extends from 1 Digit to 6 Digit 7 Segment LED Displays, giving OEM manufacturers multiple configurations to evaluate according to their product requirements.

Numerical, Character & Symbol Options

OEM equipment is not limited to numerical information.

Alphanumeric Segment Displays and Dotmatrix Displays can support applications requiring letters, characters and symbols.

Dedicated Clock Display Options

4 Digit and 6 Digit 7 Segment Clock Led Displays can be considered for electronic products incorporating clocks, timers or other time-based functions.

Directional Display Options

Arrow LED display up-down and Directional LED arrow display can support OEM products requiring dedicated visual direction indication.

Visual Level & Range Indication

Single Color LED Bar Graph and Multi Color LED Bar Graph provide display options for electronic equipment requiring a visual representation of levels or changing ranges.

How to Select an LED Display for Your OEM Electronic Product

Display selection should begin with the information the product needs to communicate and then consider the mechanical and electronic requirements of the equipment.

Type of Information

Determine what needs to appear on the equipment interface:

  • Numerical values → Seven Segment LED Displays

  • Time information → Clock LED Displays

  • Letters and numbers → Alphanumeric Segment Display

  • Characters and symbols → Dotmatrix Displays

  • Directional information → Arrow LED Displays

  • Levels and ranges → LED Bar Graphs

  • Visual equipment status → LED Light Bars / Single Digit Bi Color

Number of Digits

For numerical applications, determine the maximum number of positions required.

  • Single or compact values → 1 Digit / 2 Digit 7 Segment Led Display

  • Measurement and controller values → 3 Digit / 4 Digit 7 Segment Led Display

  • Extended numerical values → 5 Digit / 6 Digit 7 Segment Led Display

Character Size & Viewing Distance

  • Character height should correspond with the normal viewing distance of the finished equipment.

    A compact handheld or panel-mounted instrument will have different requirements from equipment designed to be read from several metres away.

    For applications requiring larger numerical characters, the Jumbo 7 Segment Display can be considered.

Display Colour

  • Display colour should be selected according to the product interface, required contrast, visual hierarchy and available product configuration.

    Bi-colour and multi-colour display products can be considered where colour differentiation forms part of the user interface.

PCB & Mechanical Integration

  • Before finalising a display, OEM manufacturers should consider:

    • Overall display dimensions

    • Character height

    • Number of digits

    • Decimal-point requirements

    • Pin configuration

    • PCB footprint

    • Available PCB space

    • Mounting arrangement

    • Driver circuit compatibility

    • Viewing angle

    • Front-panel opening

    • Equipment enclosure dimensions

    • Required display orientation

    These factors help ensure that the selected display fits both the electrical and mechanical design of the finished product.

Prototype & Production Requirements

  • During product development, OEM manufacturers should evaluate the display alongside the PCB, enclosure and interface design.

    Sharing drawings, dimensions, required display format or an existing sample can help identify a suitable display configuration for the application.

Custom LED Display Configurations for OEM Electronics

Standard display products may not always match the layout required by a new electronic product.

An OEM manufacturer may require several display elements within the same interface, such as:

  • Multiple Seven Segment digits

  • Numerical and character displays

  • Numerical display with status indicators

  • Clock and indicator combinations

  • Dotmatrix and numerical combinations

  • Bar Graph and numerical displays

  • Directional arrows

  • Bi-colour indicators

  • Application-specific display arrangements

Depending on the requirement, Alfa Electronic Components can discuss the application and help identify suitable standard components or possible custom display configurations.

                • Clock and indicator combinations

                • Dotmatrix and numerical combinations

                • Bar Graph and numerical displays

                • Directional arrows

                • Bi-colour indicators

                • Application-specific display arrangements

Information to Share for Your OEM Display Requirement

To help identify an appropriate LED display for a new or existing electronic product, manufacturers can share available technical and application information such as:

  • Application / Equipment Type

  • Required Display Type

  • Number of Digits

  • Required Character Height

  • Display Dimensions

  • Display Colour

  • Common Anode / Common Cathode Requirement, where applicable

  • Decimal-Point Requirement

  • Pin Configuration

  • PCB Layout or Available PCB Space

  • Required Viewing Distance

  • Existing Display Part Number, if replacing a display

  • Existing Sample or Photograph

  • Technical Drawing, if available

  • Required Quantity

Providing more application information can make it easier to evaluate an appropriate display option.
