What Is a DisplayPort Adapter?

DisplayPort (abbreviated as DP) is a digital video interface standard developed by the PC and Chip Manufacturers Alliance and standardized by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). This interface is free of authentication and license fees. It is mainly used for connecting video sources to displays and other devices. It also supports audio, USB and other forms of data.

DisplayPort is the first display communication port that relies on packetized data transmission technology.
  1. Protocol based on small packets
    • Allows easy extension of the DisplayPort standard
    • Allow multiple video streams in separate entities (in future versions)
  2. Designed to support connections between internal chips
    • Allows direct operation of display function options, removing the control loop of the display to produce a cheaper and thinner display.
    • The goal is to replace the inside of the laptop panel with a unified link interface
