Comparative analysis of digital LCD interface and analog LCD interface part five

5 Support various applications

Like most flat-panel display manufacturers, NEC, where I work, supports any interface the market chooses. NEC's special status is that it is the only manufacturer that produces both analog interface and digital interface LCD display module. This provides us with a unique perspective, from which we clearly see that different applications require different interfaces. In summary, NEC believes that DVI is an excellent solution for many applications and will support this solution.

One way to take into account different needs is to have a "own" LVDS interface in the LCD to directly support applications in a closed environment. For an open environment, an interface like DVI is needed, and this only needs a low-priced scalar receiving/sending board to easily solve the problem.

Regardless of the application, the prospects for digital interfaces are more promising. This type of interface helps simplify the design of the system and can take full advantage of the high-quality images provided by AMLCD and other high-resolution flat panel devices.
