Persistence of Vision Display

ABSTRACT
This project is a special kind of circular LED display. With the help of some
mechanical assembly, LED count, hardware requirement, the overall cost is cut to very
affordable price. Also maintenance and repairing of the display is so easy, that anyone having
a little electronics

knowledge can take care of this. All the synchronizing can be

implemented through software. This project use the principle of Space Multiplexing. This
propeller display is mechanically scanned and displays the characters in digital format. Made
from scrap it can be used anywhere and everywhere and the most amazing fact about this
display is its crystal clear display. This display consists of just 8 bright LEDs which are
rotated to show the display. Here we can dynamically update the display string with wireless
technology Bluetooth. i.e we can provide input data from a Bluetooth android mobile or
Bluetooth enabled PC.
