A display device is an output device for presentation of information in visual [1] or tactile form (the latter used for example in tactile electronic displays for blind people). [2] When the input information that is supplied has an electrical signal the display is called an electronic display .
Electrically operated display devices have developed from electromechanical systems for display of text, up to all-electronic devices capable of full-motion 3D color graphic displays. Electromagnetic devices, using a solenoid coil to control a visible flag or flap, were the earliest type, and were used for text displays such as stock market ...
Most of the ASCII characters (the double quote is missing) on a 14-segment display. Multiple-segment display devices use fewer elements than a full dot-matrix display, and may produce a better character appearance where the segments are shaped appropriately. This can reduce power consumption and the number of driver components.
