LED matrix based digital learning display for children with wireless control

In this paper a digital learning display has designed especially for the children in rural areas from which they can learn Bengali and English alphabet and numbers. The display is formed cascading twelve 8×8 dot matrix displays so that the designed character patterns are attractive to the children. It can be controlled by an IR remote. Only a 12V DC battery is enough to drive the display. The power consumption of the display is very low. So, schools at remote area where electricity is not available can easily use this display to make the learning more enjoyable to the children. An 8-bit PIC microcontroller is used to control the display and generating different character patterns. This is our first attempt to make the learning interesting for the children. In future, we can add some additional features with this display such as games, music, animation etc.
