Toshiba Introduces Industry-First 4K2K VESA® Embedded DisplayPort™ (eDP™)-to-MIPI® Dual-DSI Bridge IC

- New IC to help drive innovation for tablets, phablets and handheld gaming devices -

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) today announced the launch of “TC358860XBG”, the industry's first^[1] VESA^® Embedded DisplayPort™ (eDP™)-to-MIPI^® dual-Display Serial Interface(DSI) converter IC. The new IC enables the 4K2K ultra high definition (UHD) experience for handled electronic devices such as tablets, phablets and portable gaming devices.
Sample shipments start today, with mass production scheduled to start in March, 2015.

The TC358860XBG is an embedded DisplayPort™ (eDP™)-to-MIPI^® dual-DSI converter IC with video format conversion and compression technology support for UHD (4096 x 2160, 3840 x 2160), 4K2K, 60fps, 24bpp (bits per pixel) video inputs for high resolution displays. Employing both high speed serial interfaces meeting industry standards with low-power operation capability in one chip enables support for UHD 4K2K displays while continuing to meet the low power consumption requirements of handheld devices.
Connecting with the application processors with eDP™ interface and high computing capabilities, the new IC enables set-makers to design portable devices supporting UHD 4K2K, WQXGA and WQHD content without latency.
