Abstract:
One example includes a light-emitting diode (LED) system. The LED system includes an LED array comprising a plurality of LEDs that are each activated via an LED current provided therethrough to provide illumination. The system also includes an LED controller configured to sequentially activate the plurality of LEDs via at least one LED driver system configured to selectively provide the LED current through each sequential one of the plurality of LEDs in an activated state in response to an activation signal. The at least one LED driver system includes a voltage clamp configured to maintain a substantial constant amplitude difference of a driver voltage associated with the LED current from the activated state to a deactivated state.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for providing substantially uniform illumination in a light-emitting diode (LED) system, the method comprising:\n sequentially activating a plurality of rows of LEDs arranged in an array; activating a switch in response to an activation signal to conduct an LED current through an LED in a respective activated one of the plurality of rows of LEDs to activate the LED, the switch being coupled to the LED via an intermediate node having a driver voltage; deactivating the switch via a deactivation signal to deactivate the LED; and conducting a clamping current from the intermediate node to set a maximum amplitude of the driver voltage while the switch is deactivated.
