Version 1.1 of the DisplayPort interface for use in new designs of flat panel displays, projectors, PCs and CE devices. has been approved by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).
DisplayPort 1.1 gives manufacturers of LCD panels, monitors, graphics cards, PC chipsets, projectors, peripherals, components and consumer electronics a next-generation digital interface that is designed to replace LVDS, DVI and eventually VGA. Approved today, the standard gives DisplayPort the ability to connect to both internal and external displays with a common digital interface. This common interface capability means that DisplayPort can carry pixels directly from any display source to any LCD panel, simplifying the design complexity that is present today.
First presented at CES in January, a DisplayPort Interoperability Guideline that recommends best practices for providing DVI and HDMI connectivity via the DisplayPort connector and simple cable adapters is nearing completion.
“The benefits of version 1.1 are significant, and will encourage adoption of DisplayPort in new generations of computers and consumer electronics equipment,” says Bill Lempesis, VESA Executive Director. “Our task groups and committees within VESA worked very hard to ensure that DisplayPort 1.1 satisfies the important objectives it is designed for, and as a result, this new version has widespread support among all the leading computer and consumer electronics suppliers.”
