The present invention is directed towards a method of scanning lines in a display and towards a display control device for scanning lines in a way which is less trackable by the human eye as well as towards an electronic device including such a display control device. The control device includes a line driving unit (18,20) and a control unit (22), which control unit (22) varies the selection of lines to be scanned and controls the line driving unit (18,20) to scan the selected lines. Selection and scanning is varied in such a way that energy variations caused by the scanning of lines is less trackable by the human eye. In this way bright lines or flickering normally caused by scanning of lines is reduced.
