Those displays were a sort alphanumeric. The word digital only applies 
but when some kind of computer counter logic circuit is used. Otherwise 
things like mechanical odometers would be considered digital. 
 
Speaking of displays, I just purchased a surplus white light led the 
other day in the standard size package and I was curious, seeing how 
very bright it was, how many mcd's this thing emits. The funny thing is 
the led white light seems slightly bluish, rather than what we are used 
to from incandescent lamps but it looks different from fluorescent.
