13 & 17 Section Displays

For readability 7 section displays aren't particularly good.

With a 13 section display you see a number 4 as
rather than

I have a world showing this feature:

17 section display plus more efficient 13 section display: http://everybodyedits.com/games/PWYDtx9-fSb0I
(part is on the top right and it is wide to show clearly what is going on (can be made smaller)
It's a series of or gates

0 OR 1 >> 7
0 OR 2 >> 8
1 OR 3 OR 4 >> 9
2 OR 3 OR 5 >> 10
4 OR 6 >> 11
5 OR 6 >> 12

1 AND 3 >> 13
3 AND 4 >> 14
2 AND 3 >> 15
3 AND 5 >> 16

It does sadly mean that you can't have one display with 0# and the next with 1# and 2# etc..

Edit:
I know it is simple but I have difficulty reading the 7 section displays and I cannot be alone

Well, if you have spare switch gates and switch ID's, this fits like a glove.

Re: 13 & 17 Section Displays

Its a bit disingenuous to show this while using a bunch of 2-high segments for the sides of the 7-segment display.  The larger the display is, the less the corners matter.

Nevertheless, as tamashiimizu says, this is very useful if you have the ids to spare.

switchs resets isn't a problem, i saw a guy that made one completly compact, no bugs, and the doors will be illimited, so it won't be a problem
