Abstract
A current-load control circuit can include a first and second current loads, a current source, and a current-steering switch. The current-steering switch is operable to connect the first current load to the current source in a first switch mode to direct electrical current from the current source through the first current load and is operable to connect the second current load to the current source in a second switch mode different from the first switch mode to direct electrical current from the current source through the second current load. The first current load can be a light emitter. The second current load can be a light emitter or a non-emissive current load. A display can include an array of current-load control circuits. A digital camera can record images shown on the display to communicate information from the display to the digital camera.
