Dot-matrix display

Time:2023-03-08

Dot-matrix display is a display device that displays text or graphic content by arranging many small units (lights or other structures, as long as they are different in color) into an array (generally rectangular, other shapes are also available but not common).
It can be used to display many simple information without high resolution, such as machine operation status, clock, railway departure indication, etc.
Usually, the display is controlled by a circuit called a dot matrix controller. The dot matrix controller opens or closes the cells in the array according to the required display content, so that the text or graphics can be displayed.
