NIST Workshop on the Computer Interface to Flat Panel Displays. Held in San Jose,California on January 13-14, 1994

摘要

On January 13 and 14, 1994, the NIST Workshop on the Computer Interface to FlatPanel Displays was held at the San Jose Hilton Towers in San Jose, California. The meeting was attended by representatives from computer, flat panel display, and graphics controller companies. The objectives of this workshop were: to determine the need for a standard or a series of standards for the computer interface to flat panel displays; to identify what types of standards are needed; to identify approaches for developing flat panel display interface standards; and to obtain a consensus on a coordinated plan for standards development. The workshop attendees agreed that standard flat panel display interface for integrated devices is needed. A special interest group was formed under the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) to undertake the development of a standard or a series of standards for the interface between a flat panel display and its controller. This interface standard will address both active and passive flat panel displays in integrated devices. It will cover both the electrical and the mechanical (connector) specifications. The interface for remote flat panel displays requires additional technical discussions before a standard can be written. Additional workshops on display interfaces and/or technical sessions at the SID (Society for Information Display) Symposium should be explored. In addition, the VESA Monitor Committee invited interested parties to participate in their committee which will be considering interfaces and connectors to desktop and remote flat panel displays in addition to their CRT interface work.
