Raw grayscale image data, representing images to be displayed in successive frames, is used to drive a display having pixels that include a drive transistor and an organic light emitting device by dividing each frame into at least first and second-frames, and supplying each pixel with a drive current that is higher in the first sub-frame than in the second sub-frame for raw grayscale values in a first preselected range, and higher in the second sub-frame than in the first sub-frame for raw grayscale values in a second preselected range.

Driving a LED array includes determining total charge to be transferred to the LEDs during an image frame, and determining a number of drive pulses of equal width and amplitude that would drive the LEDs with nearly the total charge during display of the image frame. One of the drive pulses is modified so the drive pulses drive the LEDs with the total charge during display. If the width is greater than a minimum width and less than a maximum width, the LEDs are driven with the drive pulses. If the width is less than the minimum width and if an amplitude is greater than a minimum amplitude, the amplitude of the drive pulses is decremented. If the width is less than the minimum width and if the amplitude is equal to the minimum amplitude and if the number of drive pulses is greater than one, the number is decremented.
