Abstract

With existing display interface standards having reached their limits with respect to bandwidth, the definition of a new standard was inevitable. VESA defined “DisplayPort” (DP) which allows for higher resolution, greater color depth, and increased frame rates. The recent release of the standard is DP 1.2, allowing 8 MP displays with more than 16 million colors to be driven with 60 Hz frame rate.
