LED pixel art display: your wall shows whatever you decide

A grid of LEDs, an app, and any drawing made of pixels appears on your desk or your wall. The 32×32 version measures 200 mm a side for 1,024 dots you can drive one by one. You put a clock on it, scrolling text, a score counter or your own pixel art, from a phone. It is an ambience object you reprogram, not a fixed frame.

What it does

• Displays your own drawings: every dot is set from the manufacturer's app, on a 32×32 or 16×16 grid depending on the version.
• Changes function in one move: clock, date, scrolling text, scoreboard — the content is replaced without dismantling anything.
• Stands or hangs: only 24 mm thick, it sits on a shelf as well as on a wall.
• Lights the room: the grid also works as coloured ambient light when it shows a solid colour.

What it doesn't do

• It is not a video screen. 32×32 dots is an icon or a simple animation — no photo, no film, no readable interface.
• It does not work on its own: without the manufacturer's mobile app, there is no way to change what is displayed.
• It has no battery. It stays connected to mains power at all times, on a European plug.
• It comes with no library of characters or logos: the licensed motifs seen at other sellers are not included.
• The 16×16 version divides the definition by four: it suits an icon, not text.

Compatibility

The display is driven from a smartphone, through the app provided by the manufacturer. The power supply uses a European plug format. Both versions, 16×16 and 32×32, are controlled in the same way — only the fineness of the display changes.

Skill level required

None. You plug it in, install the app and draw. No dismantling, no soldering, no tools.
