Abstract: A method for activating scan lines of a passive matrix liquid crystal display (LCD) panel includes activating the scan lines of the passive matrix LCD panel in a selected one of an interlaced scanning mode and a progressive scanning mode that is selected based on a select signal. A device that performs the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus for minimal phase delay and zero crossing filtering, obtaining a filtered signal without phase delay and glitch by combining a zero crossing filter and a hysteresis zero crossing filter. The zero crossing filter and the hysteresis zero crossing filter both receive an input signal and a reference signal and respectively output a zero-delay signal with glitches and a hysteresis signal with phase delay. A phase-protect filter then receives these two signals and outputs the filtered signal. When the zero-delay signal has a change of state and the hysteresis signal is at the first state, the filtered signal is at the second state. When the zero-delay signal has a change of state and the hysteresis signal is at the second state, the filtered signal is at the first state. When the zero-delay signal has no change of state, the filtered signal remains unchanged.
