{"title":"32x32 RGB LED Matrix Panel - 5mm Pitch","handle":"32x32-rgb-led-matrix-panel-5mm-pitch","url":"/products/32x32-rgb-led-matrix-panel-5mm-pitch","description":"A 32×32 full-colour RGB LED matrix panel with 1024 LEDs at 5mm pitch. Designed for indoor use with a wide 160° viewing angle and pre-balanced white output, these panels look great in ambient light. The slightly larger pitch than 4mm panels makes them well-suited for displays viewed at moderate distances.\n\nThe panel uses a 1:16 scan rate with 12 × 16-bit latches. It requires 13 digital pins (6 data + 7 control) and continuous redrawing to achieve PWM colour — on a 16 MHz Arduino, 12-bit colour (4096 colours) is achievable at ~40% CPU usage. Higher-performance controllers (FPGA, Raspberry Pi, Propeller) can drive these panels to their full potential. Panels are chainable via IDC connectors.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n1024 RGB LEDs – 32×32 pixel resolution at 5mm pitch\n\n12-Bit Colour on Arduino – 4096 colours with example library code\n\nChainable – IDC input/output connectors for cascading panels\n\nPre-White Balanced – Good colour uniformity across the panel\n\nWide Viewing Angle – 160°\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nResolution – 32 × 32 pixels (1024 total)\n\nPixel Pitch – 5mm\n\nScan Rate – 1:16\n\nOperating Voltage – 5V DC\n\nCurrent Draw – Up to 4A per panel\n\nDigital Pins Required – 13 (6 data + 7 control)\n\nRAM Required (Arduino) – ~1600 bytes for 12-bit colour buffer\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nLED video walls and signage projects\nArduino, Raspberry Pi, and FPGA display projects\nAnimations, graphics, and text displays\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× 32×32 RGB LED Matrix Panel (5mm pitch)\n1× IDC cable\n1× Power cable\n4× Mounting screws with mini-magnets\n\n\n\nNote: Requires a 5V 4A power supply (not included).
