TLC5941: 16 channel LED Driver

I see 3 banks of 9, which is a bit odd. 16 channels * 3 * 9 = 432 channels, yet there are 576 LEDs. Since these LEDs are RGB, that expands to 1728 needed channels. That means I have exactly 1/4 the required control. 

FDS6875: MOSFET

TC1427C: MOSFET Driver

VHCT541: Octal Buffer

PTH05060: Power regulator (5Vin, 0.8-3.6 Vout)

The site I bought this from claims the input voltage should be 3VDC, but the input voltage range on this piece is 4.5-5V. 

The LEDs look similar to OSRAM MultiLEDs
