This 1.2″ 8×8 LED Matrix features 64 pure green LEDs arranged in a square grid, perfect for building scrolling signs, simple animations, or small pixel displays. The compact package plugs directly into a breadboard with 0.1″ pin spacing — eight pins on each side.

The matrix requires 1:8 multiplex driving. A dedicated driver such as the MAX7219 handles all the multiplexing work, or you can use shift registers (74HC595 for anodes, TPIC6B595 for cathodes) for a more hands-on approach.

Key Features

  • 8×8 LED Matrix – 64 pure green LEDs in a square pixel grid
  • 1.2″ Form Factor – Compact yet highly visible
  • Breadboard Compatible – 16 pins with 0.1″ spacing (8 per side)
  • Deep Green Colour – Rich, vibrant pure green tone

Specifications

  • LED Colour: Pure Green
  • Configuration: 8×8 matrix (64 LEDs)
  • Size: 1.2″ × 1.2″
  • Pin Count: 16 (8 anodes, 8 cathodes)
  • Pin Spacing: 0.1″ (2.54 mm)
  • Driving Method: 1:8 multiplex

Ideal For

  • Scrolling text signs and marquees
  • Simple animations and pixel art displays
  • Arduino and microcontroller LED projects
  • Learning multiplexed display driving

Package Contents

  • 1× 1.2″ 8×8 Pure Green LED Matrix (KWM-R30881CPGB)
Note: This green matrix uses a different manufacturing process than other 1.2″ green LED matrices. Colours may not match exactly if used side by side.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

LED
A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
microcontroller
A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
