The present invention relates to a method of scanning lines in a display, a device for scanning lines and a portable electronic device including such a device. Driving luminance information for each pixel within a frame is divided into subfields (90, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100). Subfields are selected for scanning in a set of scanning cycles (Scan 0, Scan 1, Scan 2, Scan 3, Scan 4, Scan 5) equivalent to the existing number of subfields, lines are scanned consecutively and selection of subfield is varied from line to line in each scanning cycle such that no two consecutive line scans use the same subfield and no line is scanned using the same subfield twice during the set. Image flicker caused by the subfields is reduced.
Method of scanning lines in a display within a frame, where driving luminance information provided to the display for each pixel within the frame is divided into subfields, the method including the steps of:
Device for scanning a number of lines in a display within a frame using luminance values within a frame and comprising:
Portable electronic device comprising:
