TM
is widely used in products such as portable and desktop computers, digital cam-
eras, handheld data collection scanners, PDAs, Pocket PCs, handy terminals and

graphics for large display applications. Graphics interfaces such as VGA, DVI and
LVDS support multiple graphics display options.
DVI
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a form of video interface technology made to
maximize the quality of flat panel LCD monitors and modern video graphics
cards. Data is transmitted using the TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Sig-
naling) protocol, providing a digital signal from the PC's graphics subsystem to
the display.
LVDS
The Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) interface allows the Intel Graphics
Media Adapter to communicate directly to the flat-panel display. The LVDS inter-
face supports pixel color depths of 18 bits.
