Innovation is endless, Samsung has developed the world?s first LCD panel using the next-generation video interface ? DisplayPort. Sanctioned by VESA (the Video Electronics Standards Association), DisplayPort will serve as a replacement for DVI, LVDS and eventually VGA. By using a transmission speed more than double that of today?s interfaces, Samsung?s new LCD only requires a single DisplayPort interface, instead of the two DVI (Digital Visual Interface) ports now used. For Samsung?s new 30-inch LCD, the DisplayPort interface transmits graphics data at a total data rate of 10.8Gbps. This speed enables 2560×1600 resolution without any color smear. The interface technology processes 2560×1600 pixels of graphics data at up to 10 bits of color depth or 1.07 billion colors, a feat that would normally require at least three DVI or four LVDS interface chips.

In a joint undertaking with Genesis Microchip Inc. Samsung developed its 30-inch panel using a new four-lane, 2.7Gbps/lane interface chip. Samsung?s new 30-inch LCD also offers the company?s proprietary Super Patterned Vertical Alignment (S-PVA) liquid crystal technology for 180° viewing angle, and 300 nits brightness. Scheduled for mass production in the second quarter of 2008 for Samsung 30-inch LCD
