Abstract: A display device includes a display substrate and a backplane substrate. The display substrate includes an array of micro-LEDs forming individual pixels. The backplane substrate includes a plurality of pixel logic hardware modules. Each pixel logic hardware module includes a local memory element configured to store a multi-bit pixel intensity value of a corresponding micro-LED for an image frame. The backplane substrate is bonded to a backside of the display substrate such that the pixel logic hardware modules are physically aligned behind the array of micro-LEDs and each pixel logic hardware module is electrically connected to a micro-LED of the corresponding pixel.

Abstract: A modulated light source comprises a laser diode and a drive circuit coupled operatively to the laser diode. The laser diode is configured to lase upon passing an above-threshold current for an accumulation period. The drive circuit is configured to draw a priming current through the laser diode over a priming period, the priming current being insufficient to cause the laser diode to lase during the priming period, but sufficient to shorten the accumulation period. The drive circuit is further configured to draw the above-threshold current through the laser diode after the priming period, thereby triggering emission from the laser diode following a shortened accumulation period.

Abstract: A system for dynamically adjusting a bias voltage for a laser diode or a light emitting diode is provided. An output voltage of the laser diode is measured and a level of a supply voltage applied to the laser diode is adjusted to change the bias voltage to the laser diode to manage power usage and avoid saturation of the laser diode. Also, a junction temperature of a laser diode may be estimated by mapping a measured output voltage and known current to device characteristic data based on temperature and the supply voltage adjusted in order to bias the laser diode to compensate for a temperature change. Further, data indicating an intensity level of data to be rendered by the laser diode is used to adjust the second supply voltage to bias the laser diode in advance of rendering the data.
