2.4.2.3 LVDS Transmitter Schematic Example
Since the electromagnetic radiation of the parallel RGB interface is not easy to handle, it is
recommended to attach liquid crystal displays with high resolutions by using an LVDS interface.
LVDS also reduces problems associated with long cables. The Colibri standard does not feature a
dedicated LVDS LCD interface. Nevertheless, a parallel RGB to LVDS transmitter can be placed on
the carrier board to get an LVDS interface.
Since there are different LVDS color mapping available, check with your display vendor how the
RGB signals need to be connected to the transmitter in order to be compatible.

18-bit Color Mapping
The color mapping for the 18-bit LVDS interface is standardized and is shown in the following
