CHAPTER ONE
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
Introduction As our generation approaches its peak, technology becomes an art. Even advertisements and communications tend to become digital. The production of light emitting diodes has its use both in industrial and commercial information displays. Hardly comparable against other advertisement mediums like tarpaulin, it is easy to interchange, is cost effective in the long run rather than changing a new Ad, it is programmable, and more likely to caught the attention of viewers. In Xavier University Ateneo de Cagayan, engineering department, a great number of students are uncomfortable of the enrollment system being unorganized. Students can hardly wait when other students try not to fall in line and outsmart the former. Some students get bored and create a conversation with other students, not knowing that it is their turn. As an electronic hobbyist and engineering students, we want to design a display system that can help this enrollment problem. By this, students just have to get a priority number and wait for their turn. With large screen display and an audio speakers, the LED dot matrix display system can be useful in calling attentions and also has its other purposes like reminding school activities and schedules. The project consists of 2-D matrix of LED with their cathodes joined in rows and cathodes joined in columns. By controlling the flow of electricity through each row and column pair, it is
