@lupyuen they are amazing for teaching and just hobbyists in general. I have a pile of them i throw on pretty much every project to have a bit of a readout even if just for debugging.. their amazing, they are so cheap their almost free :)
Its a big step up from when i got started in the 80s with the Vacuum fluorescent displays that cost a noticeable chunk of change (especially to a kid) and couldn't even output english letters half the time, just numbers.
Attached one for reference in case anyone reading this doesnt know what they are.
