U should make this into a javascript library that can render the text like this, instead of a font. Draw the shapes for each segment using paths and fill em. U can use the canvas of html5 to do this quite effectively
practical to implement? no practical in the bounds of its limitations? yes the point is that it remains a segmented display, and the general goal is to display as much as possible in as few segments as possible
@@aiexzs "as few segments as possible" is not the goal (and never was). Cost savings or overcoming technological limitations could be. But this doesn't solve neither. Having as few segments as possible was a cost saving measure in the past with 7-14 segment displays. Even if it was the goal, standard 16x2 LCD has 5x8 pixels per character (5x7 without cursor) which is practicaly the same number of elements as this display. This may be more legible using japanese characters than a dot-matrix (I can't read japanese and I don't recognize japanese characters, so I can't tell). That is prabably the niche this is targeting.
Just about the entirety of ASCII can be done legibly with as few as 30 (6x5) pixels, which is fewer than the number of segments here. But ascii serves an entirely different purpose than the main aim of this hypothetical display.
Except this would be entirely impractical for the technology of the time as you would need a character rom and a bunch of other circuitry anyway unless you were planning on just hardwiring the display.

Mandarin and Japanese actually use different versions of Chinese in writing, depending on where you are (China uses simplified Chinese, and Japan uses mostly traditional Chinese, with some variations) As if it wasn't complicated already
Very well done! I love the concept, it works pretty well. The only issue I saw is how リ and ソ look very similiar, but I'm surprised you were able to differentiate all the other ones so clearly while still making so many readable characters with the limitations, awesome
Sad people are missing the point of all this great work... this is much more expressive for the Japanese characters than a dot matrix could be. This is so cool

Hungarian bus stations have a different kind of 38-segment display of (probably) German origin, based on a 3×5 matrix with cells cut into curved/sloped pieces. (-:
I saw that when doing my research! Though it might be a bit hard to believe, I was trying to make this design with as few segments as I could while meeting my outline, by chance I landed on 38. I thought 38 segments was gonna be way higher than any actually used displays out there, lo and behold there is indeed a real 38 segment display in use! From what I remember they are often used in public transport because of their great readability ✌️
Came for the matrix stayed for the SpongeBob music. Incredible design. I want a physical implementation that’s electro luminescent or something. Algorithm blessed me today
In Japan, 5x7 dot fonts are often used because they can express most characters (alphabets, numbers, katakana, and some kanji, mainly numbers). The number of 5x7 segments is smaller than that of this video. Anyway, as a Japanese speaker, I'm glad that you chose Japanese segment display as a concept!!
At the very least, they should make a watch face for Samsung and Apple watches. It would look especially good on a Galaxy Watch Ultra, with its squared-design.
I appreciate that you actually make larger words using the display instead of just showing one character at a time. A lot of these kinds of videos don't do that, and it hides a lot of readability issues.
All those Japanese glyphs with just 38 segments is impressive. However, at 2:51 the mix of Arabic numerals and Japanese symbols on the third line doesn't work, because one of the symbols can be confused with the digit 8.
1:29 By adding in the ĀĒĪŌŪ you're only one character away from being able to display the hawaiian language. In Hawaiian these modifiers are called a kahakō, with a similar meaning of lengthening vowel sounds. Only one missing is a glottal stop ʻokina. (ʻ) Looks very similar to a right apostrophe but can distinguished from each other if you use the right font. Wikipedia has a great write up on it for ease of entry. 'ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi'
The Posy inspiration from this video is amazing. Awesome concepts! I think this might be the first segmented display design that i have seen that can clearly display quotes, aphostrophes, question, and exclamation marks.
My main grievance with this is just that 38 isn't a power of 2 or 1 less than a power of 2, so it makes it much harder for a sumbol decoder to interact with for telling it what to display
"You know what, 37 segments feels a little to restrictive. I mean, I can't just stop at latin characters, arabic numerals, punctuation, chinese numbers, japanese katakana and just 143 kanji after all." - Pekero, probably
It's amazing, here's a suggestion tho. I personally think the number 9 would be more legible if you reuse the eight as template and use the left half of the horizontal bar of the 6 together with the lower right vertical segment. Right now it looks more like 力 then 九. I also think the number 5 五 would look better if all of the vertical segment move 1 to the left.
With factories destroyed I think there would be a lot more salvaging, reusing, repairing of existing old tech than creating of new stuff, and segmented displays aren't as common these days. I could see people taking broken laptops and tablets out of junkyards just to steal screens and batteries to wire up to something else.
this is really cool! it's so awesome that you got it to display the full katakana and date/time! japan date/time notation is usually in arabic numerals. but you can still do it this way and i would still wear this around because it would make me more interesting
"メ" と "ヘ" は読みにくい思う。 I think メ and ヘ are not easy to understand. ナ and メ are almost same. ヘ and ^ are almost same. Theメ's second stroke must be diagonal line. It's the difference between ナ and メ. ヘ's lower right has long line. This's more clear.
The fact you made a segmented display layout for all of this just for fun is so neat. It looks great too! :D This reminded me a bit of Stray (that robot and cat game) I can see this going into a cool game or show with a similar aesthetic.
Analog technology always fascinates me. It's always interesting to see the specific technical workarounds used to display things the way we want within the physical limitations of devices before we figured out it was less restrictive/more reliable to just turn everything into ones and zeroes/pixels/bits.
Our subway trains (BVG Class H) use similar segmented displays for text information. These kind of displays were popular in the 90s and were a nice compromise between regular 7/16 segment displays and dot matrix displays, being more easily readable than both. They usually have 32, 64 or 128 segments per character as a power of 2 is much easier to manage by a microcontroller. Another version used in buses of the 90s and 2000s has 38 segments for some reason as well.
I looked at the SVG and if you filled in the gap it would be, and if you made the blank square cells into segments you could probably display more Kanji. Also symmetrical with the gaps filled would be easier to manufacture. There's a Japanese company out there known as Noritake that makes custom vacuum fluorescent displays with heavy customizability and no minimum order quantity. You could in theory order this display or any other segmented display from them. Also if you venture into dot-matrix, you can order displays with a homemade bitmap font as the default font, which is something that piques my interest to do.
2:22 found cool how removing just a single segment turns 品 into 命. These two kanji are so distinct, yet when simplified to fit on this segment display, they end up looking surprisingly similar! たった一つのセグメントを外すだけで、品が命になるの！この二つの漢字は全然違うけど、セグメントディスプレイに合わせると似て見えるね！
This genuinely a really cool and unique way to display stylized Latin-Kanji signs. Its not necessarily practical, but in the future we want everything to be cool, this is that cool thing
This is beautiful, i hope the wave of retro enthusiasts that's blossoming for old tech can integrate this as some sort of retro-future mod to old alarm clocks or something!
I actually hope this takes off. If it was ever produced at scale, this 38 segment display could actually revolutionize the aesthetics of a certain area of electronics. If not, it'd still have a unique retro niche to fit into. Either way, I hope I see more things like this in media because it's totally awesome.

I was expecting this to be another pointless unreasonable segmented display on TH-cam that had more segments than it had to. I was mistaken and this is actually the coolest segmented display I've seen. 🔥
Nice design, I like the way the numbers and Latin letters look even though that wasn't the intent. Also, the all-on looks like a neat symbol in itself.
Despite its comprises, it’s still very impressive that your segmented display can show multiple languages! (English, Japanese Katakana AND Kanji is crazy) I’ve never actually seen any display do that before! Very cool! :)

I was expecting this to be another pointless unreasonable segmented display on TH-cam that had more segments than it had to. I was mistaken and this is actually the coolest segmented display I've seen. 🔥
Nice design, I like the way the numbers and Latin letters look even though that wasn't the intent. Also, the all-on looks like a neat symbol in itself.
0:29 That's a japanese/chinese 7? No, no, no, that's a Polish Ł
The algorithm has blessed me with something i never thought i would enjoy watching.
What’s the music you used?

@@pekeroyou’re such a G for this holy moly 😭
Despite its comprises, it’s still very impressive that your segmented display can show multiple languages! (English, Japanese Katakana AND Kanji is crazy) I’ve never actually seen any display do that before! Very cool! :)
