For example, when the timing controller 10 detects that the data transmission device 9 transmits the still picture data, the timing controller does not output a signal to the source driving chip, but the source driving chip 11 can maintain the internal Line Buffer110 to output the still picture data, thereby effectively reducing power consumption. When the timing controller 10 detects that some of the frames in the display area change, the Line Buffer110 in the source driver chip 11 is maintained to output the static frame data to the frames in other areas, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the power consumption of the display device.
Specifically, the timing controller 10 is connected to at least one source driving chip 11, and when the timing controller 10 detects that the data transfer device 9 transfers the still picture data, the timing controller 10 outputs a control Clock (CK) signal and a Control Data (CD) signal to all the source driving chips 11 to transmit an instruction to interrupt data transfer to all the source driving chips 11.
All the source driving chips 11 are connected to the display panel 12 and each includes a Line Buffer disposed inside, the source driving chips 11 receive an instruction to interrupt transmission of data, store the current frame of picture data in their respective Line buffers 110, and send a disconnection (lock) instruction to the timing controller 10 to disconnect the timing controller 10, the timing controller stops sending data signals (for example, P2P data signals) to all the source driving chips 11, and the source driving chips 11 continuously output the stored current frame of picture data to the display panel 12 through the Line buffers 110 for display, so as to ensure normal display of the picture on the display panel 12. At this time, the timing controller informs the data transfer device 9 that the data transfer device also stops transmitting the P2P data signal to the timing controller, and the timing controller also stops transmitting the P2P data signal to the source driver chip, thereby greatly saving power consumption.

Here, when the data transmission device 9 transmits the frame data change of a certain display region, the timing controller 10 will detect the frame data change transmitted by the data transmission device 9 and also determine the frame data change of the corresponding control region of the source driver chip.
Preferably, the detecting unit 101 of the timing controller is configured to detect that the frame has not changed, and then disconnect the source driver chip from the display panel, and the source driver chip still continues to output the stored current frame data to the display panel through the line buffer for displaying.
The control clock signal is used to select the source driver chips, and for example, 4 source driver chips 11 are adopted, and the addresses of the 4 source driver chips 11 may be 0000, 0001, 0010, and 0011 in sequence, respectively. The control data signal is used to control whether data transmission is performed between the source driver chip and the timing controller 10, when the control data signal value is 0000, it indicates that the timing controller is disconnected from the corresponding source driver chip and does not transmit data, and when the control data signal value is 1111, it indicates that the timing controller 10 is connected to the corresponding source driver chip and transmits data thereto. The timing controller 10 outputs a control clock signal and a control Data signal to control and select different source driver chips 11 and control Data (Data) transmission, thereby achieving the purpose of saving power consumption when the picture is changed and when the picture is still.
