Abstract

This study used PIC 32MX 795F512H single-chip micro-controller unit as the control core to implement the design and production of full color LED rotating display. The display of this system is based on human vision. For the eye storage characteristic generated by high-speed dynamic images, the single-chip micro-controller unit controls single-row RGB colors LED display lamp bank, carried and rotated by a rotating platform, in order to implement the full color display of dynamic scan. This rotating full color display has three characteristics: (1) 360° surround display, so that people in any position can see colorful pictures, the information spreading efficiency is increased greatly; (2) as many as 16,777,216 colors can be displayed by using a small amount of control chips and RGB LED with dynamic scanning control technique, so as to display full color pictures; (3) the image acquisition and real-time transmission technology of this work can use camera to shoot various objects or persons. The image display codes are transmitted instantly to the single-chip micro-controller unit of console display by the self-developed image acquisition program and wireless transmission packet technology. The design of the real-time full color LED rotating display for pictures is completed by video scan technique. The test result of the self-made rotating machine shows that any picture can be displayed on the display machine completely, and the performance is good.
