How to add screen option checkbox for wordpress?

For my plugin I added a screen option with number input field. I want to add checkbox fields. Could not found out anything here. See the code:

//defined $my_admin here

add_action( 'load-' . $my_admin, "my_add_screen_options" );

//add screen options
function my_add_screen_options() {

    $screen = get_current_screen();

    //some checks

    $args = array(
            'label' => __('description', 'my'),
            'default' => 20,
            'option' => 'my_per_page'
    );
    add_screen_option( 'per_page', $args );
}

//Save the data from screen options
add_filter( 'set-screen-option', 'my_set_screen_option', 10, 3 );

function my_set_screen_option( $status, $option, $value ) {
    if ( 'my_per_page' == $option ) return $value;
}

It works for number input. I thought changing $args will make it display checkboxes or any other field. But could not find anything significant by google too.

Can anybody help?

Using filter hook create one option in screen option.

For example i create Thumbnail option in post list. following code add in theme function.php

add_filter('manage_posts_columns', 'posts_columns', 5);
function posts_columns($defaults){
   $defaults['my_post_thumbs'] = __('Thumbnail');
   return $defaults;
}
