A display system may include a plurality of light emitting diodes to emit light, where each of the light emitting diodes are connected in parallel and a plurality of first switches respectively coupled to the plurality of light emitting diodes. A first switch of the plurality of first switches is coupled in parallel to a first light emitting diode. The first switch may short the first light emitting diode of the plurality of light emitting diodes through a defined resistor having a defined value that therefore draws a defined short circuit current.

Systems and methods for mitigating micro-LED failures

An electrical connector may have connector contacts. Protection circuitry in the connector may prevent circuit damage. The protection circuitry may include diodes that shunt excessive voltages to ground. The protection circuitry may be implemented in a semiconductor die. The semiconductor die may be embedded within a substrate layer in a printed circuit. The printed circuit may form the body of the connector. Connector contacts may be formed on upper and lower surfaces of the printed circuit. Conductive structures such as vias in the printed circuit may be used to couple semiconductor die contacts on the semiconductor die to the connector contacts. The semiconductor die may be a double-sided die having first and second semiconductor dies that are bonded to each other in a back-to-back configuration.
