Patent Images
1. A backlight system for a color display screen that includes an array of color picture elements, the backlight system comprising:
- a plurality of clusters of Light Emitting Diode (LED) devices of different colors that are configured to radiate light of the different colors in a light path that impinges on the color display screen to provide backlighting on the color display screen; and
a plurality of LED device controllers, a respective one of which is configured to control operating parameters of a subset of the clusters of LED devices.

Abstract
Backlighting systems for color display screens include clusters of LED devices of different colors that are configured to radiate the different colors in a light path that impinges on the color display screen, to provide backlighting on the color display screen. LED device controllers are provided, a respective one of which is configured to control operating parameters of a subset of the clusters of LED devices, a single cluster of LED devices and/or individual LED devices in the individual clusters. The LED device controllers may use a common data line.
