LED on GLASS DISPLAY

led reader 56 columns wide. stores messages without computer.

I chose to just show pictures. the actual build is complicated.

The txt is step by step. The real hard part is gluing 300 leds to

the glass and keeping it all clean and crystal clear. This is more

art than electronics. My 'led on pc' makes the build easy but

you loose the artistic affect of the glass. To see in real life is

rewarding. Stay tuned for my 'time square patr1, part2'

An awesome reader that's folded into a square.

here are some of my readers. I have made over 50

column array chart to make letter[] array

display glass connector

here are the downloads for the build

if you can glue the leds to glass then you

are half way finished. Tips on the build are in the .txt

My latest readers are enclosed in epoxy and that makes the

leds POP so the display looks 3d.
