Pixel Map
In a 4-character display, the 160- bits are arranged as 20
columns by 8 rows. This array can be conceptualized as
four 5 x 8 dot matrix character locations, but only 7 of the 8
rows have LEDs (see Figures 6 & 7). The bottom row (row 0)
is not used. Thus, latch location 0 is never displayed.
Column 0 controls the left-most column. Data from Dot
Latch locations 0-7 determine whether or not pixels in
Column 0 are turned-on or turned-o. Therefore, the
lower left pixel is turned-on when a logic high is stored
in Dot Latch location 1. Characters are loaded in serially,
with the left-most character being loaded rst and the
rightmost character being loaded last. By loading one
character at a time and latching the data before loading
the next character, the gures will appear to scroll from
right to left.
