Abstract (en)

A light source for a colour display apparatus (1) for displaying light at optical wavelengths corresponding a plurality of different colours sequentially, comprising a plurality of light-emitting diodes (3, 4, 5) each respectively operable to emit light to display a respective one of the plurality of different colours, a power source (26) connected to the plurality of LEDs for supplying power thereto a plurality of capacitor units (7, 8, 9) connected to the power source to be provided thereby with charge for generating a respective one of a plurality of different respective forward bias voltages for application to the LEDs to operate the LED. A control unit (10) is operable to selectively connect a capacitor unit to an LED for applying a desired one of the different said forward bias voltages thereto according to the colour of light which the LED is operable to display.
