Therefore, it is very useful for editing message remotely without connecting keyboard on

display instead use wireless keyboard

 • Introduction :
Everything around us is becoming smart such as smart phones, smart

televisions, smart refrigerators, so why Not Smart Displays boards for

advertisements and notices.

Display boards are primary thing in any institute, organization, public utility

places like bus stops, railway stations, parks, shopping malls to display

information regarding platforms, various advertisements about the

products, or important notices. People are now adapted to the idea of the

world at its fingertips. 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.

 • What is ”Scrolling LED Display”? :
The actual concepts of these scrolling led displays are the presence of the

LED in it. They use the Red led in most of the cases because the Red color

will attract the attention of the visitors a lot. The LED's will ON at particular

time period and OFF on a specific time. There is an electronic circuit in the

internal part of the device which consists of the Integrated Circuits (IC's).

The circuit works by power supplied. According to the program written in

the circuit, this will work. It gives supply to specific lad’s present in the scrolling led display
such that, they will ON and OFF for a particular time

intervals. The circuit has the sense to display all types of alphabets on the

scrolling led display. There will be some particular information to display. If

this information once displays on the scrolling led display immediately

after a mean time the LED's light pattern is will shift off to the next

segment of the led column. This will occur in a fraction of a second. Our

eyes can't detect this movement. This principle is called "Persistence of

vision (PV)". Thus, the information displayed on the screen will move so we

called it as scrolling led display.

 • Working principle of module :
Controlling large amount of LED with limitable control lines trees. two principles or
techniques

1. Serial to parallel conversion

2. Persistence of vision.

To convert serial Tata coming from MCU a shift register is tied. In these.motlules

74HCS97 IC is usetl. This IC is a 8 bit serial in parallel otitis IC. It has main footer lines for

interface. To hift s bits of’ tlata to it, the first bit of data (i.e. bit (1) is pit on DATA line . For

example if this bit is () then DATA line is ptillet) LOW or if this bit is 1 then Tata line is pitiless

high (+7nv). Once valid data is pit on the DATA line, the shift clock line is matte high, and

then macule low. This transfers the bit on t)at line to the IC from the MCU. n- In the same

way all 8 bits are transferrable to the IC. V In the t)is play panel, 1L› such shift registers are

cassoulet. So you net to. transfer 8x16›=128 bits to control 128 LEDS.

You may wont)era if there are 12 LEDS on the board bit we are only stenciling platform
128

LEDS, how it is gonna work? V Here comes the technique of persistence of vision that is

employed in all electronic displays (even TVs). n- In this t)is play we only show 4 of the total

image in one frame. next frame show. other 4 image. In the same way 4 frames are rec]ureic

to show complete image. These sub frames are switched at such fast speed that hitman eyes

sees complete picture.

V As yeti can see in the image below, 16 lines of the display are. divided into friar

groups. So first line is group 1 then after 3 miter lines the Seth line is again group I. So
7o12/4

= 128 LEDs. Start in each group there are 128 LEDs , that is why we need to transfer 128 bits

Tostito these 128 LEDs.

There are two line named A and M on the panel connecter. The logic level on these pins
decides which group is selected. Only the LEDs on the selected line glow according to the

125 bits of data received from the MCU. So if you select groin 1 by setting A=0 and. B=0

following lines are selected 1, S,9 and 13.

So the data that yeti will send tiding serial. I interface will be shown on these LEDs.

So the data that yeti will send using serial. interface will be shown on these line.

ln the same way transfer data to the lines. belonging to gratin 3 and This will make the

whole picture of

the frame. cut this switching should be so fast that. human eye cannot see it. Normally 400

Hz switching kerateins is best. As it will make yeti able to 100 complete frames per second.

Warning

Do not supply power in wrong polarity. lt. will damage the module.

• Power Supply Box :

Here A-200AF-5 Power supply box is used. this supply box is provides input supply for

module and other components of LED Display. A power supply unit converts mains AC to

low-voltage regulated DC power for the internal components of a Display

• Advantages:
➢ The primary advantage of scrolling text is its ability to display a larger amount of
information than stationary text
➢ An LED scrolling text sign can also be more easily changed to display current
messages than print signs.
➢ It shows the messages in different languages as per required.
➢ The basic advantage is the appearance of LEDs, which look too. awesome with
Slim Design, Better Color
➢ Longer lifespan and less environmental impact.
➢ Wider Viewing angle (typically 175 degree).

• Disadvantages :
➢ The disadvantages of scrolling rest relate to the message not being presented as
a whole or being difficult to read.
➢ Because of the constant movement of the rest, the reader. may begin his
observation of the message midway through a sentence.
➢ The writer of the text must then trust that the reader will continue observing the
scrolling text until the message cycles back through to the beginning.
➢ LEDs are currently more expensive than conventional lighting technologies.
➢ LEDs can shift color due to age and temperature. K Contrast radios not
consistent.
➢ LED performance largely depends on correctly engineering.
