Each LED in the display must be powered separately with a current source. The required current depends on the ratings of the LED and the desired brightness level. The usual grubby 7-segment display will accept 10-20mA and be adequately bright over that range. Most 7-segment displays have 8 or 9 LEDs (one for each segment, one for the decimal, and sometimes one for a high left-side decimal). Most displays have common cathodes and independent anodes.
Each anode will typically be powered independently of the others, often by the output of a microcontroller or converter/driver chip (BCD to 7 seg or binary to 7 seg). As these outputs are often un-limited voltage sources, a limiting resistor must be used in series with the output powering each LED.
Calculating the resistor value is simple. Use the formula R = (Vsrc-Vdrop)/Iseg, where Vsrc is the source voltage of the output, Vdrop is the forward voltage drop of the LED (Typically you can approximate this to 2V for most LEDs.), and Iseg is the current desired. Assuming you have 12V outputs and want around 15mA driving each LED, the resistors should be (12-2)/0.015, or 666ohms. (680ohms is the nearest standard value.)

What would cause a 7-segment display to have no segments on?
A Loss of power or the blanking signal is on to begin with.
7 segment display LED?
A seven segment display is a device used to display numbers and letters on things such as alarm clocks. A 7 segment display is simply seven LED's packaged in a pattern that allows numbers and letters to be displayed by illuminating different sets of LED's.
How to connect 74ls138 with 7 segment?
We cannot connect the 74ls138 straight with a seven segment display; for that we need a 7447(7 segment driver).
Is 7 segment led a combinational circuit?
A: NO it is a display of seven segment to display a decimal of '0' to '9' it may have 8 LED for the point
Why 7 segment display is used in microprocessors?
A 7 segment display is an I/O device, and it is not necessarily used in microprocessors. The choice of I/O devices is a function of system design, not microprocessor design.
How do you connect a common anode 7 segment display?
To connect a common anode 7-segment display, you would typically connect the common anode pin to a positive voltage source and the individual segment pins to current-limiting resistors connected to the microcontroller output pins. When you provide a LOW signal to a segment pin, it will turn on that segment.
What is the 2 types of 7 segment led display?
