Abstract:
1. A display system that interfaces with a CardBus slot which provides video data and a direct current (DC) voltage, the system comprising: a card body; a connector carried on said card body and configured to facilitate mating with said CardBus slot; a video controller carried on said card body and coupled to said connector to receive said video data and generate, in response, a corresponding video display signal wherein said video controller includes a serializer/deserializer that provides said video display signal in a serial format; a head-wearable display responsive to said video display signal; an optical fiber having a first end coupled to said card body and a second end coupled to said display; a semiconductor laser arranged to radiate a corresponding light signal into said first end in response to said video display signal; a photodiode arranged to receive said light signal from said second end and thereby deliver said video display signal to said display; a transmission line carried on said card body to receive said DC voltage signal from said connector; and at least one metallic conductor coupled between said transmission line and said video display to thereby deliver said DC voltage to said display.
