TO DO
- Display: Compactness and seamless edge-to-edge display panelling is not a priority any more. There are a few places where these design goals made things quite difficult and any new production should have these changes made:
- Point-of-Load power supply on display board for LEDs.
- Separate LED power from TLC5955 power.
- Increase margins and put mounting holes in sane places.
- Use larger connectors for the flat-flex cables. Assess signal integrity and see if more conductors would be useful for shielding.
- Another layer of PCB might be in order to ease routing of control signals, especially if there are signal integrity issues at higher speeds.
- Controller: A higher-speed controller is necessary to use the full potential of the display panel. There are several viable alternatives:
- A high-speed microcontroller module, such as the Teensy 4.1 (600 MHz), using built-in SPI or bit-banging to communicate with TLC5955 chips.
- A microcontroller + FPGA combo -- using the microcontroller to handle USB and FPGA to handle the TLC5955 communication.
- An FPGA to handle both USB and TLC5955.
- 3D Models
- Redraw in an open source CAD tool, e.g. FreeCAD.

Questions
How big is the UVTV PCB?
It measures 55.1 × 45.1 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the UVTV use?
322 parts, built around the TLC5955RTQR, EAST1616RGBB4, SM0603UV-395 and VLMU1610-365-135. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the UVTV KiCad files?
From the s-bear/UVTV repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/UVTV.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the UVTV design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
