A display control device for a flat panel display is provided and includes a display controller and a timing controller. The display controller is provided for receiving an input signal and generating a display signal and a plurality of timing signals corresponding to the display signal. The timing controller includes a timing control unit and a data processing unit. The timing control unit is coupled to the display controller for providing a plurality of control signals required for the flat panel display. The data processing unit is incorporated into the display controller in a first integrated circuit chip for receiving the display signal and generating a plurality of output signals in synchronization with the timing signals. The output signals are output to the flat panel display through a predetermined interface.
