The present invention provides a method for transmitting data from a timing controller to a source driver, wherein the method includes the steps of: applying a plurality of data rates to a discrete data rate setting; and transmitting image data of a plurality of frames by using a plurality of modulated data rates, respectively; wherein the plurality of modulated data rates are generated by performing spread-spectrum clocking (SSC) upon the plurality of data rates, respectively; and for each of the frames, its corresponding image data is transmitting by using only one of the modulated data rates.

Method for transmitting data from timing controller to source driver and associated timing controller and display system

The invention provides a display device with reduced power consumption, comprising a host applied to generate a first image signal, a timing controller connected to the host, applied to generate a second image signal and comprised a memory for storing image data, and a panel connected to the timing controller and applied to receive the second image signal for displaying image frames. When the display device is in a power-saving mode, the host is powered down, and the timing controller generates the second image signal according to the image data stored in the memory and outputs the second image signal to the panel.
