What is the formula to convert an active sentence to a passive sentence?

There's no formula, really. Just make sure the Subject (actor) is doing the Acting (verb). Watch out for verb forms of "to be"-- is, are, was, were, has, had, have, etc. If your sentence includes "by", it is likely passive voice. And passive sentences are longer than active sentences. You may need to substitute synonyms for some words. If you have leftover words when making an active sentence, they are likely unneeded.

Difference between passive matrix LCD and active matrix LCD?
For an LCD to work, each pixel must be energized to either let light through or block light out. The difference between active matrix and passive matrix displays is the way in which the pixels are electrically addressed, or "energized." Passive matrix flat panel displays consist of a grid of horizontal and vertical wires. At the intersection of each grid is an LCD element that constitutes a single pixel. Active matrix flat panels are a higher quality and more expensive type of display in which transistors are built into each pixel within the screen. For example, the 1600x1024 screen size requires over 14 million transistors, one for each red, green, and blue subpixel. Active matrix, sometimes also called TFT (thin film transistor) displays typically have higher resolution, higher contrast, and much faster pixel response rates than passive matrix LCDs

The four years will not count for retirement unless there was active time in there.
