Low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) connectors are mainly applicable to signal transmission for liquid crystal displays. The LVDS connector transmits data via differential signaling over two PCB wirings or a pair of balanced cables by using a very low voltage swing (about 350 mV), that is, the low-voltage differential signaling transmission. With an LVDS connector, signals may be transmitted over a differential PCB wire or a balanced cable at a rate of several hundreds of Mbit/s. Since low-voltage and low-current driving is employed, low noise and low power consumption is achieved. The LVDS connectors are widely applied on liquid crystal displays over 17 inches.
