Samsung has developed a new 30-inch LCD panel, using the next generation video interface known as “DisplayPort”.DisplayPort processes 2,560 x 1,600 pixels of graphics data at up to 10 bits of color depth, or 1.07 billion colors. The interface is intended as a replacement for the Digital Visual Interface (DVI), Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) and, eventually, VGA standards. It supports both internal notebook PCs and external connector links between PCs and monitors.
Brian Berkeley, vice president of LCD Business, Samsung, who leads the company’s “DisplayPort” development efforts, said, “We have received many inquiries from computer integrators interested in ‘DisplayPort’ based LCD panels, which prompted an acceleration of our R&D for this first ‘DisplayPort’ LCD panel.” The DisplayPort interface is sanctioned by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). Samsung was the only LCD panel maker that participated in the original DisplayPort working group, formed in 2004.
