1. A display apparatus, comprising:
a light emitting diode (LED) array comprising a plurality of LED columns;
a power source, electrically connected to the plurality of LED columns, configured to provide a first power level;
a controller configured to generate a control signal associated with a first LED column among the plurality of LED columns, wherein a length of the control signal is several bits; and
a plurality of current paths electrically connected between the first LED column and a second power level, wherein the plurality of current paths are connected in parallel, wherein each of the plurality of current paths includes a switch and a current source connected in serial; and
wherein the switch of a first current path of the plurality of current paths includes a PWM switch configured to close at a duty cycle during a scan period based on a first portion of the control signal, the switches of the other current paths of the plurality of current paths are controlled by a second portion of the control signal, and a current level provided by the current source of the first current path is based on the number of bits of the first portion of the control signal and the minimum current level provided by one of the current sources of the other current paths.
