Use [LED tiles] to make a static or moving POV display.
Static LED Tile Display
- Have a small 10x100 resolution display for simple text; time, date, outside weather, etc.
- Have a larger display that can display simple low-resolution images, animations and games (pong, space invaders, etc. as the controller permits). Something on the order of 50x100 resolution.
- Have a display that can operate on a resolution comparable to a computer monitor; CGA (320x200) to SVGA (640x480). A computer could be attached to display the IRC channel, presentations, etc.
Cost & Size Estimates
Assuming the tiles are 1" squares, each one is a pixel and cost 50 cents/pixel:
- 10x100 Display - 0.8'x8.3' for $500 (1,000 pixels)
- 50x100 Display - 4.2'x8.3' for $2,500 (5,000 pixels)
- CGA (320x200) Display - 26.7'x16.7' for $32,000 (64,000 pixels)
- SVGA (640x480) Display - 53.3'x40' for $153,600 (307,200 pixels)
In short, let's just stick with the 10x100 Display
Moving POV Display
- Had a talk with the guys last week. Brimstone mentioned POV as a way to make a big display with a fraction of the LEDs for a static display.
