The 64×32 RGB LED Matrix Panel with 5mm pitch features 2048 bright RGB LEDs in a 320×160mm panel. The wider pixel spacing makes this panel ideal for viewing from further away, producing clear images and text at distances of several metres.
The panel features two IDC connectors on the back (input and output) for daisy-chaining multiple panels into larger displays. It uses a 1:16 scan rate driven by 12 onboard 16-bit latches. These panels require a high-speed microcontroller with plenty of RAM — an Arduino Uno cannot drive this panel. Use a Raspberry Pi, Arduino Mega, or FPGA-based controller for best results.
Key Features
- 5mm Pixel Pitch – Wider spacing optimised for viewing from several metres away
- 2048 RGB LEDs – 64×32 resolution with full-colour output

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- RAM
- RAM (random-access memory) is fast, temporary memory a device uses for working data while it is running; in its common volatile form, its contents are lost when power is removed. Some devices offer a mode that applies settings to RAM only, which is handy for testing changes temporarily because they are not stored permanently and disappear at power-off.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
