Led Display

The document describes a Light Emitting Diode (LED) display system consisting of a block diagram that includes a DC power supply, clock generator, decade counter, decoder, and an LED dot matrix. The LED dot matrix is arranged in a 5x4 configuration, allowing for the display of alphanumeric characters by selecting specific rows and columns using decoders controlled by a clock signal. The system utilizes a 555 IC for clock generation and a 4017 IC as a Johnson counter to simplify the design and ensure stable display through persistence of vision.

LIGHT EMITTING DIODE DISPLAY

Block Diagram:

The block diagram consists of following blocks i.e. DC power supply, clock generator, decade
counter, decoder and LED dot matrix. From the explanation of each block, the DC power supply takes
9V as input and gives regulated output as 5V

The clock generator consists of 555 IC and operated in astable mode to generate required
frequency. The counter block contains flip-flops to count input pulses and gives output in BCD

The Decoder block consists of row decoder and column decoder. Row Decoder is a 3 X 8
decoder and column decoder consists of basic ROM structure. These two are used to select the
particular LED¶s in dot matrix in which the all the LED¶s are arranged in the form of matrix.

LED dot matrix consists of 20 LED¶s arranged in 5 rows and 4 columns (5 x 4). In this matrix
we can select any LED by corresponding row and column number.

The total block diagram describes that to display any type of alphanumeric characters based on
row and column decoders. The row decoder can be programmed as per our design. The column decoder
controlled by input combinations and both the decoders operated on input clock signal. The power
required to each block is supplied by the DC power supply.

reduce number of connections e used common anode or common cathode to select particular LED. In
common anode all the anodes are shorted and brought out in each row and all the cathodes are shorted
and brought out in each column. To light up any one LED in matrix we have to select by row and
column LED can be light when we apply positive voltage to anode or negative voltage to cathode. It
should be at least 3v.

Our aim is to display an alphabet by selection particular row and column in dot matrix. To
reduce complexity in connection we used persistence of vision concept, in which each row is
continuously scanned with a frequency at which our H\H FDQ¶W SHUFHLYH LW DQG ZH FDQ IHHO LW DV

incremented by applying clock as input. To reduce complexity we used 4017 IC, it is a Johnson counter
with 10 decoded outputs. It replaces the blocks of counter and decoder. We can obtain clock in different
ways, we used 555IC timer and operated in free running mode to produce the clock at a required
frequency. The frequency of output wave is depends upon R, C components used clock generator
circuit. We produced clock at a range of 50HZ to produce stable display. Finally by taking DC supply
of 5v through 7805IC regulator the 555IC produces clock at a frequency range of 50 HZ, Which is
applied to 4017 IC. It changes the output state continuously at applied rate, out of 10, 5 outputs are
coupled to each row of dot matrix.
