Display Interface

OVERVIEW: Displays come in all shapes, sizes and technologies. Sending data to the display also varies greatly from the ultra-low power short-haul links using Flatlink3G to long robust links in automobiles using FPD-Link II/III interfaces. This site provides resources on a wide variety of devices targeted at displays and display interfaces.

TI has a strong heritage in Displays with many industry firsts:

  • Inventors of LVDS and FPD-Link
  • Industry-leading LED backlighting drivers
  • Inventors of RSDS - defacto standard for Column Driver Interface
  • Inventors of PPDS for HDTV and other large format displays
  • Inventors of Mobile Pixel Link (Smart Phones & Music Players)
  • Inventors of FPD-Link II Serial Interface for Auto Applications
  • Inventors of FPD-Link III Serial Interface for Auto Applications with Bidirectional Control
