Actually the number of segments is minimally 3 if we count in central rotation. A 2 segment display with central rotation can also be made but it's far more illegible.
You need at least 4 segments because of the maximum possible combinations. Why? Well, lights can either be on or off, meaning that the formula to find the amount of possible combinations is 2^n, n being the amount of segments. With this, we can calculate by starting n as 1 and increasing until we find an answer over 10 (we need at least 10 to support 10 digits). 1 segment: 2^1 = 2 combinations. 2 segments: 2^2 = 2*2 = 4 combinations. 3 segments: 2^3 = 2*2*2 = 8 combinations. 4 segments: 2^4 = 2*2*2*2 = 16 combinations. Since 16 is more than 10, we can understand that we need at least 4 segments to support 10 digits. I apologize if this hurts your brain.
This is surprisingly good! One look at the thumbnail made me think it would be an illegible mess, but it turned out to be the MOST legible 4 segment display I've seen! Well done!
Its really good, but the rotation varies in a way that the 5 looks like a weird 4, and the 7 looks like a 7 from north korea who accidentally smudged a picture of kim jon un
Damn, this is actually the most legible 4 segment display. Ever!
Lux's, Thomas Mutter's, Segmented Displays, TAKT!, Nyaongl, ruby's and countriescomparisons 4 segments display has left the chat.
he's saying he thinks this one is better@@Triploonic
I think you can make the number 7 with the v-shaped display above and the line in the middle.
I think you could remove th little "tail" from the bottom right part and that would make 7 better and wouldn't affect the others.
Pretty cool anyways
The number six:
@@Surg-265 it looks fine to me without the tail, it's parrallel to the big / line anyways
This is the best 4 segment display ive seen so far

Wow, that’s cool. I didn’t know that. ;)
Only 7 possible combinations - some digits would have to be identical

@@doublespoonco no, he’s saying if you allow rotation of the segmented display, say you allow 180° rotation you have double the possibilities
@@sovuchkin5093 read the reply I left above
tbh this is the best 4 segment ive ever seen

I saw the bottom part should have the top line part of the curve extended a bit to minimize the gap between the displays for the 5.

8 could've been better without the middle long line ig
Why cant 7 be 9 minius the arrow part
I just went into paint and it looks fine but it's more of a backwards r
Dear RUclips,
HOW IS THIS VIDEO BLUE
This video is secretly an adversarial attack on the colour detection AI XDDDDDDDDDDD
@@FireyDeath4lol
this is really good
except for the seven but it's fine
7 is compromised
if the lines were closer together that would be cool
Coolest sh!t I've seen today!
what
Why? 7 segments is readable.
Cuz it's fun
...why orange on grey, it's hard to read
You can make a % too lol
This looks horrible I love it.
Is this a display or abstract art?
7 and 3 are unreadable
3 is readable but 7 is pretty difficult to read
Looks like handwriting
The way you designed the numbers here is putrid.
Mine's better
No one cares
no one asked
Oh so that's the countdown timer on the predator's wrist
Great except for 7
