Patent ID: 7928939

Claim:
A display system comprising: forming a display unit having an access switch, a storage clement, an illumination switch, and an illumination element, wherein forming the display unit having the illumination element includes forming a first string of first illumination elements of a first color and forming a second string of second illumination elements of a second color; forming a display array with the display unit; connecting a control block to the display array and the display unit; configuring a signal protocol between the display unit and the control block to drive the display array; addressing the access switch with the signal protocol; storing information from the signal protocol and through the access switch onto the storage clement; controlling the illumination switch with the storage clement; and activating the illumination element with the illumination switch, wherein activating the illumination switch includes applying a pulse width modulation for the signal protocol to the first string and the second string, applying an amplitude modulation for the signal protocol to the first string, and applying the amplitude modulation for the signal protocol to the second string.
