IDT readies for DisplayPort shift in digital displays

What does LCD stand for?
A display technology that uses rod-shaped molecules (that flow like liquid and bend light. Unenergized, the crystals direct light through two polarizing filters, showing a natural background color. When energized, the crystals redirect the light to be absorbed in one of the polarizers, causing the dark appearance of crossed polarizers to show. The contrast and viewing angle improve as the molecules are twisted further.

What does HDMI stand for?
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is digital, point-to-point interface for A/V signals. Introduced in 2002, it is designed as a single-cable solution for home theater and consumer electronics equipment. It is electrically similar to video-only DVI, and although it also includes audio, HDMI plugs and sockets, it is considerably smaller.

What is DisplayPort?
DisplayPort is a digital display interface standard put forth by the Video Electronics Standards Association ( VESA ) since 2006. It defines a royalty-free (as of 2009), digital audio/video interconnect, intended to be used primarily between a computer and its display monitor, or a computer and a home-theater system. The first version was approved in May 2006 and version 1.1a was approved in January 2008.
DisplayPort signaling and protocol are different from those for DVI or HDMI. The interface includes optional DisplayPort Content Protection (DPCP) copy-protection from Philips, which uses 128bit AES encryption. Version 1.1 adds support for HDCP.
