Bicolor 8x8 Led DotMatrix Display - How ?

I want to drive 12 unit 8x8 Bicolor LED DotMatrix.
What is the algorithm for this ?
I just want color change. Red to Green or
Green to Red. Not same time displaying. Maybe with blue.

i have a related proyect 'bout dot matrix
'but its's for 8051 with driwing technics..

I need a little help to build my basic system for 8051 (i don't like the xternal RAMs and ROMs)
if you're interested, reply me quicknow.

  • It is a bit uncommon to have a LED matrix where all LEDs are always on, and the individual "pixels" just changes between red and green.

    But the most interesting thing is how to optionally get the two-color displays to support (red,green,red+blue,green+blue). It is four combinations, but not the usual combinations for a two-color LED, and a 3-color led would have 8 combinations...

    1) many more combinations are possible with PWM from red through yellow to green
    2) in your "binary analysis" you forget that one is black
    3) the OP needs to be more specific

    more words do not make you appear stupid, they make you appear precise.
