Systems and methods for mitigating micro-LED failures

A display, comprising:

• a plurality of light emitting diodes coupled to a common anode;
• a power source configured to drive a light emitting diode of the plurality of light emitting diodes to emit light;
• a switch configured to couple the light emitting diode to the power source;
• and
• sensing circuitry configured to identify the light emitting diode as a failed light emitting diode based on a current from the light emitting diode when the power source is driving the light emitting diode.

A display device, comprising:

• a plurality of light emitting diodes coupled to a common anode;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to:
• identify a first light emitting diode of the plurality of light emitting diodes as a failed light emitting diode based on a current leaked from the first light emitting diode;
• receive image data corresponding to the plurality of light emitting diodes;
• set a portion of the image data corresponding to the first light emitting diode to gray level zero based on identifying the first light emitting diode as the failed light emitting diode;
• and
• apply a gain mask to a remaining portion of the image data corresponding to a set of light emitting diodes of the plurality of light emitting diodes adjacent to the first light emitting diode.
