’BIT DEPTH’ AND ‘BIT SIZE’
A ‘bit’ is a computer term for data storage. It can only contain two values, typically 0 or 1. 8-bit simply means the data chunk is 8 bits in total (or 2 to the power of 8, as each bit can [...]
As the human eye can only discern about 10 million different colors, this sounds like a lot. But if you consider that a neutral (single color) gradient can only have 256 different values, you will quickly understand why similar tones in an 8-bit image [...]
Customer used HD108 2020 addressable LEDs to make one big transparent led display, looks great! (Newstar is the orginal IC factory, they named NS108, we bought their 108 IC to make LEDs, so named “HD108”)HD108 2020 transparent led display video

Do you know the difference of HD107s, HD108, APA107, APA102 and SK9822?
APA102: 20+ kHz PWM, 8bit 256 grayscale
APA107: 9 kHz PWM, 8bit 256 grayscale
HD107s: 27kHz PWM (the upgrade of APA107), , 8bit 256 grayscale
HD108: 27kHz PWM, 16bit 65536 high grayscale
SK9822: 4.7 kHz PWM, 8bit 256 grayscale
Newstar study the [...]
According to Paul Stoffregen’s Articles on December 6, 2017December 7, 2017, we know the APA102 LEDs strips have the problem at 24 MHz, usually after 150 to 250 LEDs.
But why? Here’s his attempt to investigate:One tempting explanation is signal quality problems due to horribly messy unterminated [...]
Hi everyone, Newstar has a new chip with the same footprint as the APA102/APA107/HD107s. The special thing about it is: it can do 16 bit per channel! It is also superior to the (already pretty great) APA102 in two other ways: it has 27KHz [...]
