LED Dot Matrix Display 5×7, 10mm Red
The 5×7 red LED dot matrix display is a compact visual output module built to show letters, numbers, symbols or simple graphics by illuminating a grid of small red LED dots. Its design condenses 35 individual light-emitting points into a neat matrix, allowing for flexible patterns or character displays while keeping the overall footprint modest. This makes it an efficient choice when space is limited, yet there’s a need for visible, programmable output.
When used within a circuit or microcontroller project, the display transforms basic electrical signals into visible output: by selectively powering certain LEDs in the 5-column by 7-row grid, it can render custom text or icons. The uniform red dots, combined with the matrix layout, provide a clear and consistent visual appearance. Because the LEDs are compact and closely spaced, the display delivers a well-defined, readable output even in a small form factor.
Overall, the 5×7 red LED matrix display serves as a reliable, easy-to-use interface element for anything from simple status indicators to full alphanumeric displays. Its straightforward matrix layout, modest size, and clear red illumination make it suitable for hobby electronics, embedded-system interfaces, educational kits, or other projects where lightweight, readable visual feedback is required. The module balances simplicity and versatility powerful enough to show variable text or symbols, yet small and uncomplicated enough for quick integration.
