A digital display includes a plurality of pixel rows. For each pixel row, the digital display includes an EM gate driver configured to supply the pixel row with a luminance-controlling signal during each of a plurality of image frames. A luminance controller is configured to instruct the EM gate drivers to supply a pulse-width modulated signal to the plurality of pixel rows. Some pixel rows are supplied with a pulse-width modulated signal starting with an on pulse, and some pixel rows are supplied with a pulse-width modulated signal starting with an off pulse, on the same or different image frames.
