Connect the base resistor of T2 to the collector of T1. Then one and only one of the digits will always be "activated." You will off course have to adapt the program code. Guess you'd best switch off all segments before changing digit.

Hi, use a npn for T1 and a pnp for T2, both bases on the same control line ? only one display at a time will be powered
