LCD coaxial embedded display interface (LCEDI) connectors
Tyco Electronics is launching next-generation LCD Coaxial Embedded Display Interface (LCEDI) connectors that are designed to provide exceptional electrical performance in both low-voltage differential signalling (LVDS) and embedded DisplayPort (eDP) applications. This family of connectors is licensed by I-PEX and is fully compatible and intermateable with I-PEX CABLINE-VS series connectors, recently selected by VESA (Video Electronics Standard Association) as the global standard connector for LED backlight wide (16x9) panel interface. Its ultra-low-profile mating configuration (1.1mm height) makes it suitable for the slim LED backlight LCD panels of advanced notebook personal computers.
Kent Kasuya, global product manager, comments: "In today's world, PCs require high-performance interconnects with sufficient throughput in order to drive the latest display technology, such as DVD/Blu-ray players, and render massive 3D imaging, real-time video or internet MPEG files. Notebook and netbook PCs use similar technology, but their display panels are slimmer thanks to the innovative power-saving LED backlight flat panel display (FPD) technology and our LCEDI family of interconnects."
VESA recently specified that next-generation digital video interface eDP, in conjunction with standard DisplayPort V1.1a specification, will support the PC market and offer a cost-effective alternative to current LVDS transmission technology. eDP architecture offers the advantage of much lower EMI at higher speed data transmission.
Tyco Electronics' LCEDI connector family accommodates consistent digital data transmission through one, two or four DisplayPort standard lanes at a reduced bit rate of 1.62Gbps or a high bit rate of 2.7Gbps through each lane, and even faster data rates over different wiring schemes. The product family offers high density for notebook PC applications, minimising space and accommodating future pinouts for LED backlight technology.
