control large number of leds (?)

hi.

i'm working in a project in which i'll need to control the brightness of about
700 leds.  i've just begun to research solutions - and i'm not sure the hb is
the right microcontroller for the job, but i thought perhaps an hb user on this
list would have some relevant experience and could perhaps point me in the
direction of the right hardware/software combination.  it seems as though i'll
need multiple microcontrollers, and additional hardware to manage the control of
a large numbers of leds.

the MAX6954 4-Wire Interfaced, 2.7V to 5.5V LED Display Driver with I/O Expander
and Key Scan made by maxim-ic was suggested as a possibility - if anyone is
familiar with it.

separate but related, i'll need the software running on the mc to be able to
return the current time, down to seconds.  i know system time is available on
the hb, but gets reset everytime the device is rebooted.  so - if there are any
suggestions regarding a solution for this piece as well it would be much
appreciated.

thanks in advance,
claudia

Wow, I thought this list was dead.

Hmmm. You're missing two key bits of information :
1) Do you want to individually control each LED's brightness?
2) How often do you wish to change the brightness?

If you are attempting to make a television like display its a lot harder
than if you're making  simply a LED sign.
