A pair of Lite-On LTP-305 red LED dot matrix displays, each with a 5×7 pixel grid plus a decimal point. Originally developed by Texas Instruments in 1971 and now manufactured by Lite-On, these compact matrices are a classic choice for scrolling text, numeric displays, and indicator panels.
The matrices can be driven by a microcontroller or a dedicated matrix driver IC such as the IS31FL3730. Up to six displays can be daisy-chained for longer text readouts.
Key Features
- 5×7 Pixel Grid – Plus decimal point per display
- Red LEDs – Classic dot matrix appearance
- Sold as a Pair – Two LTP-305 matrices included
- IS31FL3730 Compatible – Works with common LED matrix driver ICs
Ideal For
- Scrolling text and numeric displays
- Retro-style indicator panels
- Raspberry Pi and microcontroller projects
Package Contents
- 2× Lite-On LTP-305 red LED matrix displays
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.
