Does that count as 14 or 16 segment display?
Or was the original question exposed to pocket calculator? - my guess

By 14/16, I mean the number of segments per digit. Earlier calculators had 7-segment digits which can represent all the digits 0-9 as well as the minus sign. With 14 segments, uppercase letters A-Z can be represented as well.

I'm more interested in handheld programmable calculators, but the question is open to other devices.
