Display Types

The document compares different display types: 7-Segment LED, 16-Segment LED, Dot Matrix LED, and LCD. Each type has its structure, advantages, disadvantages, and applications, highlighting their capabilities and limitations in displaying characters and images. The 7-Segment is simple and cheap, the 16-Segment offers more character options, the Dot Matrix allows for versatile displays, and the LCD provides detailed images but with higher complexity and power consumption.
