It can be done with 7 LED segments.
More LEDs will be needed if a regular rectangular array is required, but many of these will never light and could be omitted to save money but then it would not be regular.
The smallest standard regular rectangular array sold is 5 by 7 or 35 total LEDs, but this will display all alphanumeric characters and even then some LEDs will be unused unless other things are displayed too.
Just guessing the smallest regular array is probably 3 by 5 or 15 total LEDs, but at most 13 of these LEDs would be used by the digits the other 2 LEDs could be omitted to save money. Such an array could be wired to be driven as a 7 segment display using a few ordinary diodes to light the 6 shared LEDs as part of multiple "segments".
Memory allocation is not necessary to display a matrix.
actually, the correct answer is: DSTN display is sometimes called passive matrix display. Pg. 376, A+ Guide to Managing & Maintaining Your PC.
A 4x4 matrix with all elements set to zero is the smallest possible 4x4 matrix.

An AMEPD is an active matrix eletrophoretic display.
Store the first value in the matrix, then compare every value in the matrix with the stored value, replacing the stored value if the current value is smaller. For instance, the following snippet will locate the smallest int value in a 3x4 matrix named A: int smallest=A[0][0]; for(int x=0; x<3; ++x ) { for(int y=0; y<4; ++y ) { if(A[x][y]<smallest ) { smallest=A[x][y]; } } }
A rectangle containing numbers are called "matrix" (1 0 0 1) (3 4 8 0) is a 2 x 4 matrix a SQUARE containing numbers is a n x n matrix, or square matrix (1 0) (5 6) is a square matrix (1) is a square matrix

An active matrix is a form of liquid crystal display with a grid of transistors and capacitors which can hold a charge for a limited period of time.
