Researching LED Displays for the Time Circuits

Now that I have a tentative plan for how I’m going to control all 300-some LED segments, the next step towards making this prop a reality is to figure-out the specifications for the LED displays. The Original Prop Displays I’m going to start, as you’d expect, by looking at the original film props. This image should be familiar by now.
