Here's what I'm thinking of for mine - each dot is addressable
and the rows can be extended to the the right. How you drive
the LED crosspoints is up to you. I'm considering a 74HC164
for each group of 8 columns and either a single 74HC164 for
all the rows or a 74HC164 for each 8 columns (thereby making
it possible to break the display down into 8x8 characters that
can be manipulated individually)

I've chosen Zetex transistors as they will switch high current
quickly and also have a low saturation voltage. Another
reason is that a feature I'd like to add is fading. With greater
control over the pulse width (and its integrity), fading should
be quite feasible
