Abstract
Driving a LED array includes determining total charge to be transferred to the LEDs during an image frame, and determining a number of drive pulses of equal width and amplitude that would drive the LEDs with nearly the total charge during display of the image frame. One of the drive pulses is modified so the drive pulses drive the LEDs with the total charge during display. If the width is greater than a minimum width and less than a maximum width, the LEDs are driven with the drive pulses. If the width is less than the minimum width and if an amplitude is greater than a minimum amplitude, the amplitude of the drive pulses is decremented. If the width is less than the minimum width and if the amplitude is equal to the minimum amplitude and if the number of drive pulses is greater than one, the number is decremented.
