Abstract
DisplayPort is a next-generation digital interface designed primarily for PCs
and LCD monitors, and to replace DVI and VGA. DisplayPort ports were
introduced in PCs and LCD monitors in 2008, and these markets will see
significant growth in 2009. In addition to the ability to connect devices,
DisplayPort also acts as an internal interface replacement for low voltage
differential signaling (LVDS) in mobile PCs.
Both Intel and AMD are scheduled to release next-generation mobile and desktop
PC chip platforms in 2010 that support DisplayPort. While this will lead to
DisplayPort design-ins in the PC space, the LCD monitor space has significant
technical and marketing issues that will interfere with DisplayPort adoption.
This report tracks the global market for DisplayPort-enabled devices in seven
different applications within PCs and PC peripherals. Annual penetration of
DisplayPort in each of these applications is tracked through 2013. A
DisplayPort transmitter and receiver chip ASP forecast through 2013 is also
provided. Brief profiles of important DisplayPort backers are also included.
