For a reasonable sum of money 64,000.00 INR (~1,000.00 EUR) I can supply you a fully functional working prototype of scrolling message display based on 5mm or 10mm leds which supports English alphabet. All you have to do is to contact me through private message.

Hi anoopmb24,
Yes, If you can write a character(say A or B...) on matrix (you have found the optimum scan-speed for X & Y) next step is completely turn off all leds of character; then turn them on by shifting one-column or one-raw.
Delay between that turn-off and on must be noticeable to naked eye.
You may experiment with variable time-delays to f

PNP transistor can only source current from the positive rail down, that is, it can drive anode row/column led matrix ..

If you are scanning by rows (rather than columns) then you need to put your current liming resistor in the column (anode) path, otherwise the brightness of the leds will vary depending on how many are turned on. Since you are scanning by rows, it's the NPNs that must sink 11x20ma, not the PNPs, as would be the case for column scanning.

There are a couple of projects on this subject on the forums, just search for moving message display or led matrix.
However all of them uses a microcontroller of some sort. I don't think you can do it without one since it is programmable? Unless you use the PC parallel port or something like this.

Depending on what you want to do with these led's,
I would agree that addressing them in a matrix might
be the way to go. Or you could always go with several
cascaded SIPO shift registers, such as the 74HC595, but
the wiring alone would be a nightmare. :roll:
Yet another alternative might be a pair of MAX7221's.

Hi,
As far as I can see from datasheets you can replace 2 74hc595s and 2 ULN2803 by one STP16C596. There are two differences:
1. ULN2803 has greater current sink capability (500 vs. 120 mA)
2. STP16C596 has courent sources so that you don't need resistors in series with led's, and you can regulate currents through all leds by one resistor only

Hello,
if this are led displays, you can use multiplexing. Segment current multiplies with the number of digits, you probably need drivers (can be simple transistor switches) for segments as for digits. To further minimize the number of lines, you can use an encoder for digit selection. But I see, that 877 hasn't enough pins even for a multiplex
