LED decoder

Hello everybody, ive constructed a LED decoder, that will display number 0, 1 and 2, if binary inputs are 00, 01, 10. 

Ive installed some LEDs, but those suckers just keep blinking for a while and die out, could anybody point out what I did wrong here ?

The voltage is correctly present in all of my logic outputs.

Hello Scrubber,

 

How do you know that the logic of the circuit is fine, did you use the karnaugh map to do it? Can you share the circuit?

 

I look forward to hear from you.

Do you need series resistors to limit the LED current ?  May be the LEDs turning on, then going out as the gate output voltage reduces with overcurrent. 

Just a thought, hope it helps.

thank you for the answers, but it appears I failed this on my own, it seems to logic gates output only 5 V and the drop in each diode is 2V, had to get rid of one in series
