  • Patent number: 12190790
    Abstract: A current-selectable light-emitting-diode (LED) display includes pixels distributed in an array of rows and columns. The pixels are grouped in mutually exclusive clusters and cluster controllers are connected to each pixel in a cluster of pixels to control the pixels in the cluster to emit light. Each cluster controller comprises a selectable current source. Each of the selectable current sources can include cluster current sources that are responsive to a current-select signal to enable one or more of the cluster current sources. The pixels can include micro-LEDs and the cluster controller can be disposed between the micro-LEDs. The display can be disposed on a display substrate with signal wires. The signal wires can include separate wire segments that are electrically connected through regeneration circuits that regenerate the signals. The display can be an information display or a backlight.

  • Patent number: 12039917
    Abstract: A display includes pixels distributed in a pixel array of rows and columns that are grouped in mutually exclusive pixel clusters on a display substrate in a display area. Cluster controllers are disposed on the display substrate and are each connected to the pixels in a pixel cluster to control the pixels to emit light. A display controller external to the display area is connected to each row of pixels in each pixel cluster with a row wire. Each row of pixels in each pixel cluster can be connected with a cluster row wire and the corresponding cluster row wires of each pixel cluster can be connected together. The cluster controllers can be disposed between pixels in the pixel cluster or between adjacent pixel clusters on the display substrate.
