A display device includes a plurality of light sources, a plurality of display driver integrated circuits (DDICs), and a light source driver. The light sources are configured to illuminate a display panel comprising a plurality of regions. Each DDIC is configured to generate backlighting data for a respective region of the plurality of regions. The backlighting data is indicative of luminance levels of respective light sources, of the plurality of light sources, which correspond to the respective region of the plurality of regions. Each DDIC is further configured to store ordering information indicative of an order for outputting the backlighting data, and output the backlighting data for the respective region based on the ordering information and a backlighting data synchronization signal. The light source driver is configured to drive the plurality of light sources based on the backlighting data for the plurality of regions output from the plurality of DDICs.
