The 64×64 RGB LED Matrix Panel with 2mm pitch packs 4096 bright RGB LEDs into the most pixel-dense panel in the 64×64 range. With the tightest spacing available, this panel produces exceptionally sharp, detailed images for very close-up indoor viewing.
This panel uses a non-standard 5-address (ABCDE) multiplexing system. Many standard drivers only support 4-address (ABCD) setups. Compatible controllers include the RGB Matrix Bonnet for Raspberry Pi, RGB Matrix HAT (both require a solder jumper), and Matrix Portal (jumper required). Arduino shields with the Adafruit library and HDMI driver boards do not support 5-address multiplexing. The SmartLED Shield with Teensy 3.5/3.6 has the hardware for 5-address panels and sufficient RAM, but the power plug must be manually soldered or adapted due to shield overlap.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 2mm pitch
- Pitch is the distance between the centres of neighbouring pins on a connector. A 2mm pitch header is smaller than the common 2.54mm breadboard spacing, so you need matching cables and headers rather than standard breadboard jumper leads.
- HDMI
- HDMI is a common digital video and audio connection used by computers, media players, and many displays. If a display kit has HDMI input, it is usually much easier to test with a single-board computer because it can act like a normal monitor.
- 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.
- 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.
- Shield
- An add-on board that plugs into a main controller board to give it extra features such as sensing, motor control or communication. Knowing a product supports shields helps you judge whether it can connect neatly into an existing maker-board setup.
- solder jumper
- A solder jumper is a small pair or group of pads on a circuit board that can be bridged or cut with solder to change a hardware setting. It matters because changing modes may require careful soldering rather than just changing software.
