Nonlinear pulse-width-modulated clock generation

An electronic display comprising:

• a microdriver configured to drive at least one sub-pixel based at least in part on an image data signal and an emission clock signal, wherein the image data signal specifies a gray level for driving the sub-pixel, and wherein the emission clock signal comprises a series of pulses of monotonically increasing pulse widths to enable the microdriver to drive the sub-pixel to emit light for a particular amount of time associated with the gray level;
• and
• an emission timing controller configured to generate the emission clock signal, wherein the emission timing controller comprises:
• a plurality of pulse-generating cells, each of which is respectively configured to generate one of the series of pulses;
• and
• combining logic configured to combine the pulses into a single signal to produce the emission clock signal.
