Abstract: Provided is a data transmission method in a timing controller. The data transmission method includes sending clock calibration data to a source driver chip, wherein the clock calibration data instructs the source driver chip to perform a clock calibration; successively sending, in response to completing the clock calibration by the source driver chip, a first identification code and an initialization control instruction to the source driver chip over a data channel, wherein the first identification code indicates a start of transmission of the initialization control instruction, and the initialization control instruction comprises configuration information, the configuration information instructing the source driver chip to perform a configuration on a physical layer parameter; and successively sending a link stable pattern and display data to the source driver chip.
