I'm planning to build a 4-digit clock & temperature meter for outdoors, but I can't decide among passive LCD, character LCD or 7segments leds.
Passive LCD
pros : low current consumption, big digits, kinda hard available
cons : hard to use/configure, fragile,
character LCD
pros : easy to use, text available, easily available
cons : small characters, fragile
7segment leds:
pros : big digits, easy to use, robust, easily available
cons : too much current consumption.
The main problem is :
both LCD : hard to see them at night (no sun light at all)
7segment leds : hard to see it at noon (lot of sun light)
Any comments?
