This invention relates to a driver (10') for light emitting devices with an associated capacitance, comprising:--a first switch (S2') coupled to a first terminal (11a') of a light emitting device (11') included in a two dimensional array of light emitting devices, the first switch (S2') being coupled for allowing discharging of the associated capacitance (12') of the light emitting device (11') upon closing of the first switch (S2'); and--a current limiting circuit (31) coupled to the first switch (S2') and to a reference voltage for discharging the associated capacitance (12') with a limited current. Further, the current limiting circuit (31) comprises a first discharge circuit (50) and a second discharge circuit. As a result, the discharge current is controlled in an efficient manner during discharging of the associated capacitance (12').
