These typically use 1112 GPIO pins (4 for the digits, 78 for the segments/dot).

Each GPIO pin controls one digit and/or segment at a time.

Since these will be connected to their own GPIO pinThe normal 'maximum' LED current is 20 mA. For the digits, 2008 segments * 20 mA = 160 mA which is no problembelow 200 mA.

However, maybe there are LED displayed which use more current. In that case, you have yourself to make sure not all segments are lit at the same time (by fastly alternating the LEDs, or using less current).

These typically use 11 GPIO pins (4 for the digits, 7 for the segments).

These typically use 12 GPIO pins (4 for the digits, 8 for the segments/dot).

Each GPIO pin controls one digit and/or segment at a time.

The normal 'maximum' LED current is 20 mA. For the digits, 8 segments * 20 mA = 160 mA which is below 200 mA.
