Expanding Automotive Display Requirements
Yokohama, December 10, 2020 --- Socionext Inc., a provider of integrated automotive SoC
solutions, has introduced its new display controller SC1702 to meet the growing needs forhigh-resolution widescreen automotive displays.

New Interface and Conformance with HDCP 2.3 Encryption
The new SC1702 is capable of transferring data at rates of up to 12 Gbps using the latest
APIX ®3 technology. It is equipped with a newly developed Panel Interface Port (PIP) that
supports the most advanced, high-resolution wide landscape format display such as 8K x 1K,
which cannot be supported with conventional interfaces. In addition, the SC1702 wasdesigned to conform to the latest encryption technology HDCP 2.3, making it possible toeffectively utilize rich, 4K-resolution content for multi-displays and other uses in a vehicle.
Supporting these new technologies, the SC1702 can detect display abnormalities that areunobservable with current technology. In addition to the conventional safety features, displays
can now recognize panel link loss, inconsistencies of CRC of pixel data and other behaviors at
the source drivers and gate drivers, enhancing the capabilities to meet further safety
requirements.
