That's pretty much how the display for the E11 PDP-11 emulator works.
It drives 8 LEDs when /STROBE is asserted and another 8 when /INIT is
asserted. This gives a 16-LED display by switching radidly between the
2 sets of LEDs. I have the lights fitted in a spare disk blanking plate
on the front of my 486 "fake" PDP-11.
