Cool Circuit has a how-to on building large (6″ high”) 7-segment digital displays using 14 super-bright white LEDs. They use the PIC16F876A microcontroller and can be cascade-connected to form up to an 8-digit display.

    Well, you were close. It is actually 14 super bright red LEDs (not white) per segment – that’s 98 per complete display, plus 4 more for the dot segment.
