Electronics 7 is a Soviet Russian brand of seven segment industrial Digital clocks with four or eleven 7-segment luminicent digits. It had a separate binary to seven segment decoder board for each digit, while the actual timekeeping was done by a main board which emitted the digits of the time as binary code. Most models used Russian made vacuum-fluorescent indicators, but there were also models based on light-emitting diodes . The most common problem with the clocks was that the segments of the display were gradually burnt out after ten or more years of continuous use, causing a significant difference in luminescence between more often and less often displayed segments. All the street and wall clocks were based on a kit by the "Reflector" factory in Saratov and many remain in use at administrative and industrial premises in Russia.

-'''Electronics 7''' are [[Industry|industrial]] [[clock]]s with [[luminescent]] indicators where each figure was formed by four or eleven 7-segment lamps. For each indicator there was a board decoding the [[binary code]] sent by the main board. There were also models based  on [[light-emitting diode]]s . The basic shortcoming  of the clocks was that the segments of the display were gradually burnt out, and there was a significant difference in a luminescence between more often and less often displayed segments. It usually happened after ten or more years of continuous work. All the street and wall clocks were based on the kit by [[Saratov]] factory "Reflector" and even now are used in many administrative and industrial premises in [[Russia]]. The clocks were made on the basis of [[Vacuum fluorescent display|vacuum-fluorescent indicators]] manufactured in Russia.
