MULTICOLOUR SCROLLING LED DISPLAY

1. Introduction

Visual impact is the most effective mode of influencing human minds


which is the main aim of adverstisements etc. A display device serves this
purpose. A display device is a device for presentation of information for visual or
tactile reception, acquired, stored, or transmitted in various forms. The display
devices used to display information on machines, clocks, railway departure
indicators and many other devices require a simple display of limited resolution.
The display consists of a matrix of lights or mechanical indicators arranged in a
rectangular configuration (other shapes are also possible, although not common)
such that by switching on or off selected lights, text or graphics can be displayed.
Various modifications has been made in the display board. Now LED display
panels are widely used throughout the world in all situations to create images for
visual displays in a variety of applications including communication and visual
display devices. LED array display board is a popular instrument for commercial
usage. Many banks, shops and cinemas are willing to install one piece of it
because of its versatility. LED array display board can be very bright and eye-
catching. Display signs used for advertising or for displaying direction or other
information to motorists have an important feature in common. They should be
eye-catching and their information should be easy to absorb. In advertising, a
signboard made of an LED display generally standing at a conspicuous location,
such as a bustling road, is widely used. The LED display comprises a plurality of
LEDs controlled by special hardware and software to perform moving images on
a screen thereof to attract the attention of passersby. The LED array display board
is used in a bank to show the current stock market value, currency exchange rate
and interests rate. It can also be used in a shop to tell people the prices and other
commercial information. LED display board serves the above purposes with
advantages rendered by LEDs

2. SCOPE OF WORK

The model can be utilized to display temperature in case when


there is no message to be displayed. With proper use of interrupt routines the
incoming message will act as an interrupt, the temperature display is halted and
the control flow jumps over to the specific interrupt service routine which
displays the information field. Another improvement in this model can be of
broadcasting the same message to multiple display boards. This can be achieved
with the use of clone SIM cards. Multilingual message display can be another
variation in this model. The message can be first received, displayed in standard
language. The same message can be converted to another language and the
message can be displayed.

3. ORGANIZATION OF REPORT

We normally use a simple static LED display screen to convey a


message. Earlier, when we want to display large data, we used to change message
for every few instances. Now scrolling displays are more preferred to static. By
using a pre programmed controller, we can make LED display in scrolling
way. We can also make LED to adoptable by using PC controller based system.
Simple Outdoor LED Message Moving or Scrolling Sign Board, Electronic
projects using LED Scroller Generator for outdoor digital signs, Marketable LED
sign board with Message scrolling are the examples of the scrolling LED display

4. LITERATURE REVIEW

LED display board is a cost-effective solution for display


ingmessages with different changing effects, the provide longlife, low cost,
efficiency, brightness, full range of colors. Because of these properties, they are
widely used for simple displays in electronic devices and can be found in
shoppingmalls, theaters, restaurants, public transportation, traffic signs, highways
signs, banks, pharmacies, churches and schools. These boards can be large LED
panels or LED dot matrixdisplays which could be in mono, bi, and
multicolor(Gowrishankar, Mritha, & Chandra, 2014), can display staticand
dynamic messages. Joy et al (2014) stated that ―LEDs aremore energy efficient
than the incandescent bulbs, halogen bulbs and even compact fluorescent light
bulbs‖ this shows that many number of applications using them will increasef
urther in near future. The automated Real-time LED Display board is aimed at the
department of computer science university of Jos for displaying academic
announcement suchas lecture attendance(semester timetable), and exams
timetable continuously during working hours. This research isbased on a message
display system using two cascaded 32*16dot-matrix LED which displays the
departmental semester timetable and incorporates the following features:
userinteraction by enabling users to change from one view toanother of the
display by selecting which day of the week toview its periods, courses and venues
using a 4*1 matrixkeypad, Arduino microcontroller for generating the
outputsignal to the dot-matrix LED to display the output using C programming
language, Ethernet shield which is for web-based configuration of the LED dot
matrix display board and saving the periods, courses and venues on the onboard
SD card of the Ethernet shield , and it will be implemented using C programing
language to drive the Arduino microcontroller to scan through the individual row
of the LED with the needed data toproduce the desired message and Setting the
color of the current day to green using a real time clock timer. Display technology
pervades all aspects of present day life, from televisions to automobile dashboards

boards are very common nowadays. The same yellow or red coloured board is not
attractive .The introduction of multicoloured LEDs into the display boards make
them attractive. This project is oriented towards the development of a prototype of
a multicoloured LED display board which is being controlled by an LED driver.
The use of multicolour LED opens door to many applications. The display board
is made on readily available components. The important requirement is that the
display board should have long life expectancy, high tolerance to humidity, low
power consumption and minimal heat generation. The fundamental part is a 4X4
LED module which could be repeated column wise or row wise to enlarge the
display without any change in circuitry. Both single line and double line display
could be affected. Motivation towards the project was tomake available a readily
expandable multicolour display board which can be used for multiple purposes.

MULTICOLOUR SCROLLING LED DISPLAY

5.1 INFORMATION OF P10 LED


The standard part used in building any exciting LED display for
commercial or home use is the P10 LED display. The P10 LED display is an
array of 512 high- intensity LEDs arranged in a rectangular pattern on a plastic
backing. Each screen has a matrix of 32 LEDs per row and 16 LEDs per column,
and each of these hundreds of LEDs can be actuated independently in order to
create a variety of exciting multicolored and moving displays and patterns. Each
LED can also vary in brightness, giving you total control over the output display
of the P10 module
The P10 LED display screen has excellent technical specifications. With a 20-
watt maximum power load and 5-volt direct current voltage input, the P10 LED
display can output 3500 to 4500 nits of brightness. The P10 is especially useful
for application as floor or wall tiles, as it can be viewed from a high angle,
hasdramatic contrast between LEDs of different colors, and is rated waterproof to
IP65 regulations. While the standard P10 LED display generates colors using red,
green, and blue lights, the P10 full color LED display screen achieves an even
greater range of colors through more base colors for a more complete experience.

5.1.1 Working of a P10 module

A P10 LED Display Module is the most suitable for designing any size of outdoor
or indoor LED display advertisement board. This panel has a total of 512 high
brightness LEDs mounted on a plastic housing designed for best display results.
Any number of such panels can be combined in any row and column structures to
design an attractive LED signboard.The 32*16 module size means that there are
32 LEDs in each row and 16 LEDs in each column. So there is a total of 512
numbers of LEDs present in each module unit.

5.1.2 APPLICATION OF P10 LED DISPLAY

The P10 LED display is an immensely versatile tool for application


across a wide variety of industries and fields, and can be used for serious
industrial applications. Examples of this include mining enterprises, where a P10
LED panel can be used to illuminate walkways, provide bright directed light, or
reflect sensor information on air quality or other important safety regulations. In
any sort of factory, an array of P10 LED panels can be used for similar purposes,
guiding workers around the factory floor or displaying important information on
the factory's walls.
The P10 LED display can also be used in many applications relating to
transportation. Public metro or subway stations can use P10 LED panels to
display route information or timetables. Wharves can apply P10 LED panels to
supplement sunlight and extend working hours, or direct crews more efficiently to
their desired locations. Airports can use P10 LED technology in a similar fashion
to the previously mentioned applications, for providing information or routing to
busy customers. In addition, P10 LEDs can be used inairports to direct aircraft
along their landing strips, improving safety and efficiency in aircraft takeoff and
landing sequences.

5.3 FRC CABLE

5 Pin (16 Wire) Female to Female Connector Flat Ribbon Cable (FRC) Cable
consists of 16 conducting wires stuck together in parallel. Flat Ribbon Cable/FRC
is also known as multi-wire planar cable because they are the type of cables
formed by joining insulated wires in a flat plane forming the Ribbon shape. In
other words, Ribbon cable has many conducting wires running parallel to each
other on the same flat plane.These wires are commonly used for internal
peripherals in computers, such as hard drives, CD drives, wired robots, etc. This
ribbon cable allowed major companies to replace bulky, stiff round cables with
sleek, flexible ribbon cables.FRC is an ideal way to connect two devices digitally.
The resultant impedance for any two adjacent wires within the cable is 120 Ohms.
FRC also fold and bend readily, conforming to the mounting area, and they fasten
easily with clamps, adhesive, or double-faced tape. Sincethe conductors are
visible and in a fixed position within the dielectric coding, inspection and circuit
tracingare simplified.

5.3.1 SMPS

A switched-mode power supply (SMPS) is an electronic circuit that converts


power using switching devices that are turned on and off at high frequencies,
and storage components such as inductors or capacitors to supply power when
the switching device is in its non-conduction state.Switching power supplies
have high efficiency and are widely used in a variety of electronic equipment,
including computers and other sensitive equipment requiring stable and
efficient power supply.A switched-mode power supply is also known as a
switch-mode power supply or switching-mode power supply.
Switched-mode power supplies are classified according to the type of input
and output voltages. Thefour major categories are:

8. OPERATION PRINCIPLE
Led works on the principle of electroluminescence.
Electroluminescence (EL) is an optical phenomenon and electrical
phenomenon in which a materialsemits light in response to the passage of an
electric current through it or to a strong electric field
Electroluminescence is the result of radiative recombination
[2:39 pm, 23/05/2023] Rameshwar Mahajan: LED scrolling message display
matrix can be made to work, by connecting all the anodes to a microcontroller
and the columns are connected to shift register (74LS164). Every column
contains ‗N‘ LED‘s so that the total current flowing through the column is the
sum of current flowing through each LED. The current flowing through each
LED is 20mA and thetotal current is N*20mA .The shift register is not
capable to sink such a large current n*2mA, Here we need a large current
sinker (IC ULN 2803) which is capable to sink 500mA current.
[2:39 pm, 23/05/2023] Rameshwar Mahajan: Microcontroller provides the
data and clock control signals to the shift register. Microcontroller provides
the data sequence to shift register data pin, the first column in LED matrix is
connected to ground via ULN 2803 and the remaining other columns in the
matrix are left unconnected. Hence LEDs in that column will glow according
to port data providedby the micro controller.

MULTICOLOUR SCROLLING LED DISPLAY

9. Working of LED
Under forward bias majority carriers from both sides of the junction can cross
the depletion region andentering the material at the other side
These diffused carriers recombine with the majority carriers at the other
side The recombination causes light to be emitted
Such process is termed radiative recombination

‗‘GF‘S G.C.O.E JALGAON ‗‘ Page 26


MULTICOLOUR SCROLLING LED DISPLAY

10. VISIBLE LED


For LED which emit visible light, the band gap of the materials that we use must
be in the reagion of visible wavelength =390-770nm. This coincides with the
energy value of 3.18eV -1.61eV which corresponding to colours as staded below

12. DISADVANTAGES

LEDs are more expensive than conventional lighting


technologies. LEDs can shift color due to age and temperature.
LED is a lot thinner than the LCD or
Plasma. Contrast ratios not consistent.
Much higher price

13. APPLICATIONS

The applications of the seven-segment display include the following.


Seven segment displays are mostly used in electronic meters, digital
calculators, clock radios, digital clocks, digital clocks, odometers, etc.
At present, most of the seven-segment display applications are with LCDs due
to low power consumption.
Thus, this is all about an overview of a 7 segment display and it‘s working
with applications. The interfacing of a seven-segment display with an Arduino
is used to display 0 to 9 digits with ease. So these display devices are mainly
applicable in bigger electronics projects like Alarm Clocks, object counters,
timer circuits, digital clocks, etc.

MULTICOLOUR SCROLLING LED DISPLAY

15. CONCLUSION

It is possible to display any single digit number on a 7-segment display by


sending a high digital signal to the specific segments that make up the
number. However, this method requires us to encode the letters manually. It is
not the best solution to output changing numbers for application such as
counters.
It is possible to display the decimal value of a binary number on a 7-segment
display using a BCD decoder.
However, this method will allow displaying only digits from 0 to 9 and letters A
to F.
The only way to display number more than 9 is to use a display that has more
than 7 segments or just using multiple 7-segment displays at once with the
corresponding BCD decoder.
In the case of the decoder circuit, any binary number between 1010 through
1111 (A to F) is an invalid input and would provide distorted shapes on the
LCD display.
Current limiting resistors of 150 ohms are connected in series between the
decoder and each of the LED display segment. They serve to limit the
maximum current flow and have no impact on the LCD display.
The usage of a 7-segment display paired with a BCD decoder is opening the
door for an application using digital computation requiring a human-readable
That application can be for instance: ―a clock, a timer, a calculator,
counter…‖
