I'm so confused why there is so many posts about this. The OP must have different requirements or just not understanding what people are saying.
From what I gather in the posts from the OP, his seven-segment displays LED's have a forward voltage of 2V. He has a power supply of 3.3V. Almost every seven segment display circuit on the web uses a resistor per segment, and a transistor driver for the common anodes/cathodes. The latest schematic he posted is just fine. And yes, one has to take into account the fact that each display is only 'on' for a a fraction of the total dispaly refresh time, usually (but not always) 1/no. of displays. In his case, for 4 digits, a 25% duty cycle. This means it will appear about half as bright (non-linearity of the human eye). Therefore, the resistors should be chosen to provide maximum current to the LED segments when on, in order to get the highest brightness whilst not going over the limit.
An equation I've posted to this guy twice now..
R = (Vsupply - Vf)/LED current. Where Vf is the forward voltage of the LED (2.0V apparently). Vsupply is his 3.3V, and LED current, often given at 20mA for continuous.
R = 3.3 - 2 / 0.02. = 1.2/0.02 = 60ohm. Nearest = 68 ohm. I would just go for 100 ohm unless the display is in full sunlight, but then there's no hope of reading it without expensive polarising filters.
