Do a little search for Level Translator.
You will find some Transistor, CMOS, etc etc circuits for that.

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
A concept as below could work, I think.
It is just a concept though. Can be modified for anode / cathode path.
You will need 8-transistors + 4 for the common ones.
ULN type of drivers could be handy here, but you need to make use of them with respect to anode/cathode issue.

This will not work.
The transistor will work as a emittorfolower and the voltage on the emittor will not come over 4,3 volt.
While I was editing the concept, mat posted.
How is it now?

Nope ! or i have some doubt...

The schena above is still not ok.
Her an example how it should work.
From Darrel:
Mat, the file caused an error in vBulletin due the the filename "div. voltages.GIF". Can you try again?

Thanks for your replies everyone..
Is there any logic level convertion IC that can do this???
Sayzer, your idea for the a,b,c,etc segments is using NPN transistors is what i had in mind.
If i feed the output of the pic to a 4011 (AND gate with its both inputs made 1 common),
and then give it to a PNP transistor, will it work???
I think the AND gate will do the level conversion, i'm not sure ? ! ?
