Display system with global emission and method for luminance control thereof

A display system comprising:

• a display panel having a plurality of pixel arrangements, and;
• a memory unit operably coupled to the plurality of pixel arrangements and disposed external to the display panel;
• and
• wherein each pixel arrangement comprises:
• at least one light emitting unit;
• at least one driver circuit operably coupled to the light emitting unit;
• and
• a digital counter circuit operably coupled to the at least one driver circuit;
• and
• wherein the memory unit is configured to load a data value to the digital counter circuit of each pixel arrangement, wherein the data value corresponds to respective frame data per pixel of a frame to be displayed,
• wherein the digital counter circuit of each pixel arrangement is configured to store the data value, to perform a counting down of the stored data value, and to toggle a state of the at least one driver circuit upon expiry of the digital counter circuit, thereby toggling a state of the light emitting unit to perform luminance control of the pixel arrangement, and
• wherein the digital counter circuit of each pixel arrangement comprises a number of M digital counters, where M is an integer, and wherein when M>1 the M digital counters are symmetrically stacked.
