Abstract

A matrix display panel has scan lines that are selected in consecutive order. An interlaced image signal is displayed by the use of one or more output enable signals that enable only every second selected scan line to be driven. A progressively scanned image signal having a frame rate too high to be handled by the matrix display panel is displayed as an interlaced image, by use of the same output enable signals. Consequently, no frame memory is needed for scanning conversion or frame-rate conversion.
