1.To be used primarily between a computer and its display monitor, or a computer and a home-theater system.
2.To replace digital (DVI) and anlog component video (VGA) connectors in computer monitors and video cards and internal digital LVDS links in computer monitor panels and TV panels.
3.supports both external (box-to-box) and internal (laptop LCD panel) display connections, and embeds the clock in the data signal
4.DisplayPort 1.0 supports a maximum of 8.64 Gbit/s data rate over a 2 meter cable.
5.DisplayPort connector supports 1, 2, or 4 differential data pairs (lanes) in a Main Link, each with a total data rate of 1.62, 2.7, or 5.4 GBit/s, with self-clock running at 162, 270, or 540 MHz. Data is 8b/10b encoded, where each 8 bits of information are encoded with a 10 bit symbol, so the effective data rates after decoding are 1.296, 2.16, and 4.32 Gbit/s per lane (80% of the total).
