8 characters display based in HPDL1414 chips. A desk clock with a serial interface, IOs, user indication led and buttons.

(Important Note: HPDL1414 are no longer manufactured! As part of our support the heavenly great blue marble, the displays used are upcycled from retired boards. They have been cleaned and brought back to their former glory, fully tested and FULLY FUNCTIONAL no less, but with noticeable marks of their former life.)

Finding a display that is both small and iconic, something with meaning in a retro style... not easy. The HPDL1414 has always been a mark in the 90s futuristic displays. Perfect as a simple desk clock or serial controlled with extra functionalities like, IOs, indication LED, personalised messages and even external time source for your applications with a 20ppm resolution.

HPDL1414 is a reference display. It has been used from "hollywood bomb time counters" to simple pagers. It has a red glow to it that makes it as special as a nixie or a vfd. Today, more than ever we try to reuse, recycle and repair... but with style. All the displays are a repurposing upcycle of the HPDLs that have been cleaned, fully checked and put to another great life, one in your hands instead of a landfill.

Have Fun! We always do.
