Samsung developes first DisplayPort monitor
Samsung Electronics has developed what it claims is the industry's first liquid-crystal display panel with a DisplayPort interface. 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.

Samsung's DisplayPort-enabled 30-inch LCD was a joint undertaking with Genesis Microchip Inc. It requires a single DisplayPort interface, instead of the two DVI ports now used. One chip can transmit graphics data at 10.8 Gbits/second, a feat that would normally require at least three DVI or four LVDS interface chips. The new LCD also taps the company's proprietary Super Patterned Vertical Alignment (S-PVA) liquid-crystal technology to enable a 180-degree viewing angle and 300 nits (candela/meter2) of brightness. Mass production is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2008.
