1. An electronic display, comprising:
a controller configured to transmit image data and a voltage; and
a pixel configured to receive the image data and the voltage, wherein the pixel comprises:
a capacitor that outputs a gate voltage based on the voltage;
a current drive comprising a driving transistor that outputs a current that varies based on the gate voltage;
a memory configured to store the image data and transmit a control signal based on the image data; and
a switching transistor that
receives the current from the driving transistor of the current drive and the control signal from the memory, and
causes a light-emitting diode to emit light at least in part by transmitting the current to the light-emitting diode in response to the control signal.
