Toshiba Unveils Latest MIPI Solutions for High-Resolution DisplaysFeb 02, 2012 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced that visitors to this years Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona will be the first to see new demonstrations of high-resolution display solutions built around the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI). Among the demonstrations unveiled at MWC will be support for the connection of high-resolution display panels to mobile devices using Toshibas new TC358766XBG integrated display serial interface (DSI)-to-DisplayPort bridge IC. MWC will also be the premiere for demonstrations showing the future for display applications using MIPI UniProSM high-speed interface architecture and associated UniPort-M ports. Display interfaces that use UniPort-M allow for the support of large, high-resolution display panels while keeping power consumption to a minimum. Through these demonstrations Toshiba will show that the UniProSM interface can be used for applications beyond Universal Flash Storage (UFS) and cameras. All of the demonstrations take place on the MIPI Alliance stand (7G11). The Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Alliance is an open membership organization that includes leading companies in the mobile industry that share the objective of defining and promoting open specifications for interfaces inside mobile terminals. DisplayPort is a digital display interface developed and produced by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). The interface is primarily used to connect a video source to a display device such as a computer monitor, though it can also be used to transmit audio, USB, and other forms of data. MIPI UniProSM (or Unified Protocol) is a high-speed interface technology for interconnecting integrated circuits in mobile phones or comparable products UFS is designed to be the most advanced specification for both embedded and removable flash memory-based storage in mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet computers. The UFS standard represents an evolutionary progression of JEDEC standards in this field, and has been specifically tailored for mobile applications and computing systems requiring high performance and low power consumption. The initial data throughput for UFS will be 300 megabytes per second (MB/s), and the standard also supports command queuing features to raise random read/write speeds.
