Big LED matrix controlled by Raspberry Pi

Question

It is possible to attach simple, monochrome Nokia Cell Phone display to rpi and it displays whole graphics to it.

So is it possible to do the same with custom LED matrix (I mean like 41*15 or more pixels, preferably RGB LEDs)? I'm thinking of sth similar to advertising displays.

Answer 1

Here is a project using a several units of smaller LED units to make one big , thing. Nice, old school, maybe some good infor there but generally boring?

But here is another project using RGB LED's, which parse some kind of bitmap file to generate animated graphics. It is quite possible you can make this even wider or taller.

These displays are 'chainable' - connect one output to the next input
