    Abstract: A display system of a display includes a first light emitting diode, a second light emitting diode, a current source, and at least one transistor. The first and the second light emitting diodes emit light. The current source provides a constant current to the first light emitting diode and the second light emitting diode. Moreover, the at least one transistor removes the current or shunts the current towards the first light emitting diode, the second light emitting diode, or both. Removing the current or shunting the current towards the first light emitting diode, the second light emitting diode, or both, may blend outputs of the first light emitting diode and the second light emitting diode.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for controlling an emission of the light emitting devices are described herein. The light emitting devices may be light emitting diode (LED) devices including μLED devices or organic LED (OLED) devices. Emission control of the LED may be performed using a micro-scale driving circuit (e.g., μDriver) containing drive transistors for constant current driving of the light emitting devices. One embodiment provides for a display driver hardware circuit including emission logic, the emission logic including comparator logic to compare a data voltage from a storage capacitor to a voltage ramp provided via the TFT backplane, the comparator logic to cause the emission logic to generate an emission pulse to an LED device, and wherein the integrated circuit is to switch and drive a plurality of LED devices. In one embodiment each of the plurality of LED devices is a subpixel for a display device.

    Abstract: A display system of a display includes multiple primary light emitting diodes and multiple secondary light emitting diodes. The multiple primary light emitting diodes may emit light, in which at least a first primary light emitting diode of the multiple primary light emitting diodes is shorted. Moreover, the multiple secondary light emitting diodes may emit light. At least a first secondary light emitting diode of the multiple secondary light emitting diodes is associated with the first primary light emitting diode, and the first secondary light emitting diode may emit light based at least in part on the first primary light emitting diode being shorted.
