I'm not convinced that matters much in 2024, especially when this article singles out safety critical systems. Such systems are likely to be fairly expensive to being with, so the marginal cost of adding a display would be minuscule compared to testing and regulatory costs (not to mention the increase in fault tolerance versus a failed segment causing an incorrect reading).
- dylan604 2y agoA cracked LCD screen also makes the display unreadable. There are all sorts of ways for anything to fail, so calling out one failure method of one thing while ignoring similar failures for the device being compared comes across as very short sighted
- yobert 2y agoYes but a cracked LCD is much more obvious than a single LED segment burning out. Also usually physical damage is required to crack an LCD, where as LEDs can burn out (albeit rarely)
- nebula8804 2y agoThe thing I hate about low cost LCD displays is that terrible motion blur when you have changing or scrolling text. It just screams cheap in my mind. 7 segment never had that problem.
