Abstract: Methods and devices for reducing the power consumption of a frame buffer (88) and timing controller (78) of an electronic display (18) are provided. By way of example, a method of operating an electronic display (18) includes receiving image data from a processor (12) of the electronic display (18), storing the image data to a buffer (88) of the electronic display (18), reading the image data from the buffer (88) to supply the image data to a column driver (64) of the electronic display (18), determining whether an amount of image data stored in buffer (88) is less than a threshold, and switching from reading the image data from the buffer (88) to reading the image data directly from the processor (12) when the amount of image data stored in buffer (88) is less than the threshold.
