Abstract

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.
