A STUDY ON 120 GBPS GI-POF INTERFACE FOR 8K-UHD VIDEO TRANSMISSION

摘要

In order to obtain a more realistic image, the display industry has been expanding substantial improvement on video format. In Japan, 8K Ultra High Definition TV (8K-UHDTV) satellite broadcasting is planned to start towards the Olympic Games in 2020. This paper proposes a novel optical interface for home electronics having capability to transmit 8K-UHDTV. The interface uses our high speed Graded-Index Plastic Optical Fiber (GI-POF) and ballpoint pen lens. Its connector and cable are small, lightweight, flexible and low cost.
