Pulsing LEDs for effeciency, brighter appearance and multiplexed display

Thermal issues with high power LEDs

Driving 8 or 9 7 segment displays with 8 or 9 io pins (and no extra circuitry)

Driving 12 LEDs with 4 uController pins

Driving 20 LEDs with 4 uController pins

Driving multiple bicolor LEDs in a matrix from and embedded controller

I see surface mount LEDs (Panasonic LNJ208R8ARA in DigiKey) that are 0.8 mm wide, and could end-stack on about 1 mm centers. (.04 inches?) Harold
