## Description

Display, elegantly, 012345678 or 9! Gaze, hypnotized, at ABCDEFGHIJKLM - well it can display the whole alphabet. You get the point. This is a nice, bright alphanumeric display that shows letters and numbers in a beautiful yellow hue. It's super bright and designed for viewing from distances up to 23 feet (7 meters) away. Digits have seven white segments on a black surface and Adafruit give you a set of two alphanumeric displays as well as a driver board so you can make a clock or a four letter word.

Like Adafruit's other LED backpacks, these are end-to-end stackable and by soldering the address jumpers on the back you can have up to 8 backpacks all sharing the same two I2C wires!

This product comes with:

- 2 x [Ultra-Bright Yellow Alphanumeric Display - 0.54" Digit Height](https://core-electronics.com.au/dual-alphanumeric-display-yellow-0-54-digit-height-pack-of-2.html) for 4 digits total
- 1 x Adafruit 14-segment LED Alphanumeric Backpack
- 1 x 5-pin header

A bit of soldering is required to attach the matrix onto the backpack but its very easy to do and only takes about 5 minutes. Of course, in classic Adafruit fashion, [We also have a detailed tutorial showing you how to solder, wire and control the display](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-led-backpack/0-54-alphanumeric). If you've been eying alphanumeric displays but hesitated because of the complexity, this is the solution you've been looking for!
