can anyone provide a pointer(s) for electronic display of a single aphabetical character?
the only thing i've come up with so far is a matrix of LEDs with a micro driving it (probably with a walking 1 scanning arrangement)
better, would be a 7 segment type display with solid 'bars' but nothing comes up on ye ol' google
any help appreciated
There are LED dot-matrix displays which will do what you want. RS have them (589-165). I've seen single LED displays with integral logic for alpha-numeric display, but not for a while (not that I've looked) - Kingfisher(?) or Adilam may have them (I'm pretty sure the latter at least used to have them).
Cheers.

Do a search for 14 segment led displays. Farnell sell them. Try this:
it may work.

Might sound grungy but DSE had a kit with a single digit alphanumeric display which could be programmed with any combination of letters or numbers.... Not sure if they still stock it but worth a try.
Look for 'starburst' displays.
