An apparatus for efficiently driving visual displays via light-emitting devices may include (1) at least one light-emitting device, (2) a buck driver circuit electrically coupled to the light-emitting device, wherein the buck driver circuit includes an inductor, and (3) a boost circuit electrically coupled between the buck driver circuit and a power source, wherein the boost circuit includes an additional inductor. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

Apparatus, system, and method for efficiently driving visual displays via light-emitting devices

The disclosed system may include (1) a diffractive optical element (DOE) stack including one or more DOEs, where the DOE stack generates, in response to incoming light received at a first side of the DOE stack, structured light from a second side of the DOE stack opposite the first side, (2) a primary light source that emits the incoming light toward the first side of the DOE stack, and (3) at least one photodetector that detects light emitted from an edge of each of at least one of the DOEs of the DOE stack, where the edge is located between the first side and the second side of the DOE stack. Various other methods and systems are also disclosed.
