looks like i may have to brew my own display..
what is driving the smaller ones ( circuitry that allows only 4 wires, some only 3 ) ?

Yes, for 1.8" I am only seeing single digits. I did find one on Alibaba but you would have to buy 100 minimum

dacflyer- these "LED filaments" could give you a very large display, clock or otherwise:
