Abstract
DisplayPort is a next-generation digital interface for PCs and LCD monitors.
It was designed as an immediate replacement for DVI, and a long-term
replacement for VGA. DisplayPort ports will be found in PCs and LCD monitors
in 2008. In addition to the ability to connect devices, DisplayPort also acts
as an internal interface replacement for low voltage differential signaling
(LVDS) in PCs and monitors. This allows for the development of direct drive
monitors, which will lower bill-of-materials costs in monitors.
The forecast for DisplayPort in consumer electronics is less clear. Although
DisplayPort is expected to have some success as an internal interconnect in
digital televisions (DTV), this will not necessarily translate to DisplayPort
ports on DTVs.
This report tracks the global market for DisplayPort-enabled devices, defined
as devices with DisplayPort ports, in eleven different applications within
three product segments: PCs, PC peripherals, and consumer electronics. Annual
penetration of DisplayPort in each of the eleven markets is tracked through
2012. A DisplayPort transmitter and receiver chip ASP forecast through 2012 is
also provided. Brief profiles of DisplayPort semiconductor vendors are also
included.
