This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the LED Dot Matrix and Cluster category on DigiKey.com
Display Modules - LED Dot Matrix and Cluster units are Devices that use a light emitting diodes arranged in a matrix layout to provide visual graphics. Typically arranged in grid pattern with either the positive or negative terminal of the light emitting diode tied together as a common circuit node. Available in a variety of sizes and colors, these units can accept a wide range of interfaces from I2C, 8-bit parallel, serial and ASCII inputs.
SelectionCharacteristics
