New LCD Coaxial Embedded Display Interface connectors
Tyco Electronics (TE) is introducing the next generation LCD Coaxial Embedded Display Interface (LCEDI) family of connectors to address today's demand for high-performance interconnects with sufficient throughput to drive the latest display technology.
There are two distinct versions of LCEDI connectors: LCEDI and LCEDI SR. LCEDI connectors are mainly designed for notebook panels and tablet PCs, while LCEDI SR connectors are designed for system applications.
These connectors are able to provide exceptional electrical performance in both low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) and embedded DisplayPort (eDP) applications. It is licensed by I-PEX CO Ltd and is fully compatible and intermateable with the I-PEX CABLINEVS connector series, the global standards connector for LED backlight wide (16x9) panel interface. It features an ultra-low-profile mating configuration (1.1mm height).
VESA has 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 substitute to current LVDS transmission technology. eDP architecture drives 2.7Gbps per lane with a bandwidth of 10.8Gbps over four differential lanes. Each data lane embeds clock signal for superb signal integrity, producing 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 are possible over different wiring schemes. The product family offers high density, minimising space and accommodating future pin-outs for LED backlight technology.
