You could also program an EPROM to do this. A huge waste of memory space in such a device (using only 4 locations), but you can get them real cheap, often salvage them for free. Program it with 4Fh in address 00, 5Bh in addr 01, 66h in addr 02, 06h in addr 04. The segment data is as follows: Seg A = D0, Seg B = D1, Seg C = D2, etc. All you need after that is a driver to provide enough current to drive the display segments. You could even do display dimming by PWM'ing the -CE or -OE pin on the EPROM.
