    7 Segments
    display
    The seven-segment display is
    a commonly used electronic
    display that consists of seven
    individual segments
    arranged in the shape of the
    digit "8." Each segment can
    be individually turned on or
    off, allowing the display of
    numbers, letters, and some
    symbols. Let's explore the
    history, definition, working
    principle, uses, and examples
    of seven-segment displays.
    History:
    The concept of the seven-
    segment display dates back
    to the early 1900s when
    mechanical displays were
    used for numerical readouts.
    However, the modern
    electronic version of the
    seven-segment display was
    developed in the late 1960s. It
    quickly gained popularity due
    to its simplicity, low cost, and
    ease of use.
    How it works:
    Each segment of the
    seven-segment display is
    made of a light-emitting
    diode (LED) or a liquid
    crystal display (LCD). The
    segments are arranged in
    such a way that they can
    form any digit or
    character by selectively
    turning on the required
    segments.

    LCD
    Liquid Crystal Display
    LCD, short for Liquid
    Crystal Display, is a type
    of flat-panel display that
    uses the properties of
    liquid crystals to produce
    images. It consists of a
    layer of liquid crystals
    sandwiched between two
    transparent electrodes
    and polarizing filters. The
    liquid crystals can be
    manipulated to control
    the passage of light,
    resulting in the display of
    information.
    History:
    The history of LCD technology can be
    traced back to the late 19th century
    when Friedrich Reinitzer first discovered
    liquid crystals. However, it wasn't until
    the 1960s that practical applications for
    LCDs began to emerge. The first
    functional LCD was developed by George
    H. Heilmeier and his team at RCA in 1968.
    Since then, LCDs have become one of the
    most widely used display technologies.
    How it works:
    LCDs work on the
    principle of the electro-
    optical effect of liquid
    crystals. Liquid crystals
    are materials that
    exhibit properties of
    both liquids and solids.
    In an LCD, the liquid
    crystals are arranged
    in a specific pattern
    between two glass
    substrates. The glass
    substrates are coated
    with transparent
    electrodes.
    When an electric current is
    applied to the electrodes, it
    creates an electric field that
    affects the alignment of the
    liquid crystals. The liquid
    crystals respond to the
    electric field by twisting or
    untwisting, which changes
    the polarization of light
    passing through them. The
    polarizing filters placed
    above and below the liquid
    crystal layer control the
    orientation of the light.
