Programmable electrode voltage swing reduction apparatus and method

A light emission diode (LED) display panel, comprising:

• an LED array having a plurality of LED pixels, a plurality of scan switches, and a plurality of LED columns,
• wherein each LED pixel is connected to one of the plurality of LED columns,
• wherein an anode of each LED pixel in each LED column is connected to a common anode node and the common anode node is connected to an output of a current source,
• wherein a cathode of each LED pixel in each LED column is switchably connected to a current sink via one of the plurality of scan switches,
• wherein the common anode node is connected to a first input of a comparator circuit and is switchably connected to an anode voltage source,
• wherein a second input of the comparator circuit is connected to a reference voltage source, and an output of the comparator circuit signally controls a switch member that connects the common anode node to the current sink or disconnects the common anode node from the current sink.
