Hello!!! I have to display the Scrolling message on to the Led Matrix..
I have to connect 4-Led Matrix. I am using 74HC595 Serial to Parallel Converter.

Firstly i am checking only single matrix:-
Here is my circuit diagram

I display ARUN SHARMA in scrolling fashion on led matrix.
Its working fine in Protesu but not working properly in real hardware.
Have a look at this video:-

Can any one tell me why such display is coming.
What i thought is that Current in not sinking properly i am using ULN2803 for sinking.
I don't know how to solve this problem.

NOTE:-
I used 220ohm resistor for limiting current when connecting 74HC595 with Led Matrix
The video shown above is the result of that.

When i used 10K resistance the display is very light and is not visible properly.
Any Suggestion Please.
 

595+ uln 2803 is ok .these are for column data and it produce a current sinking action . But you have to provide enough current to the rows using a source driver . Most suitable is APM 4953 mosfet or use suitable TIP transistor
