A display device includes a display panel, a gate driving circuit and a source driving circuit. The display panel includes multiple sub-pixels arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns. Three first sub-pixels of the sub-pixels have different colors and constitute one pixel. The first sub-pixels are disposed in the same column. The gate driving circuit is electrically connected to multiple gate lines. The number of the gate lines is less than the number of the rows. Each of the gate lines corresponds to at least two of the rows. Each of the gate lines is electrically connected to at least two of the sub-pixels in each of the columns. The source driving circuit is electrically connected to multiple data lines. The number of the data lines is greater than the number of the columns. Each of the columns corresponds to at least two of the data lines.

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.
