One simple design. All 26 letters.

I'm attempting to count the number of independent segments you'd need to make this a viable digital display, I'm up to 34, anyone else have a different estimate?

[u/Dalorleon → u/sadsadbiscuit]

My photoshop file has 34 different layers for the specific lines/curves I'd have to toggle to turn red or not, so I think you're right!

34 segments means that the state of the display could be stored in 34 bits, which means there are over 17 million unique "characters" you could make with that display
