A drive circuit for a time sequential color LED based display device allows the overall brightness of a display device to be adjusted without affecting the color balance. The circuit includes a boost switching converter, which provides constant power to each of a plurality of different colored LEDs associated with a pixel, independent of the forward voltage across each LED. The boost switching converter receives a pulse width modulated drive signal for activating each LED, when enabled, during a frame. The on-time of the drive signal varies during each frame according to which LED is to be activated at a particular point in time, to provide the appropriate power to the LED. The LEDs are enabled sequentially during a frame by separate enable signals. The cathode of each LED is connected to a positive power supply voltage when the LED is enabled. |
