Module Principle
A digital tube is a common display device often used for digital display in devices such as digital clocks, counters, and information prompts. The working principle of the digital tube is to convert the digital signal into a current signal, and control the direction and magnitude of the current flow to make the LED (light-emitting diode) emit light, thereby realizing the function of digital display.
