Hi,
Very different spec from "battery powered toy badge". For a room sized
display with permanent power available and a need for connectivity I'd
look at some of the more serious hobby sites. Plenty of Arduino or
Raspberry Pi interfaced displays giving you a choice of Ethernet/Wifi/
Bluetooth connectivity and a lot of different programming options.
Good search terms for these sites are "LED matrix" or simply "matrix".
A couple to get you started.

Or a really cool project if probably not that useful for your use case.
