Tyco Electronics - LCEDI connector family

This family of connectors is licensed by I-PEX CO., LTD. and is fully compatible and intermateable with I-PEX CABLINE-VS connector series, recently selected by VESA (Video Electronics Standard Association) as the global standards connector for LED backlight wide (16x9) panel interface. Its ultra-low profile mating configuration (1.1mm height) makes it ideal for the slim LED backlight LCD panel of advanced notebook personal computers.

“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,” notes Kent Kasuya, global product manager. “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 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 1.62 Gbps or a high bit rate of 2.7 Gbps through each lane, and even faster data rates over different wiring schemes. The product family offers high density for notebook PC applications, minimizing space and accommodating future pin out for LED backlight technology.
