Super pixel architecture for high dynamic range
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.
