News THine Announces Totoku Electric’s Development of Flexible Flat Cable for THine’s Next-Generation High-Speed Interface Specification, V-by-One® US
TOKYO (February 13, 2018) – THine Electronics, Inc. (JASDAQ: 6769), the global leader in high-speed serial interface and provider of mixed-signal LSI, has been collaborating with several partners in development of transmission lines for the next-generation high-speed interface specification for 4K and 8K video images, V-by-One® US, and announces that Totoku Electric Co., Ltd. (*1) has developed flexible flat cable that provides potential compliance with V-by-One® US specification.
THine has established V-by-One® US specification as a next-generation high-speed interface technology that follows THine’s high-speed transmission technology V-by-One® HS, which is now used as interface in most of 4K televisions in the world as de facto standard. V-by-One® US specification defines high-speed transmission rate of 16Gbps per lane at the maximum (16,000,000,000 bits per second), and high-speed transmission as quadruple as V-by-One® HS will be possible according to the specification. In order to accomplish transmission lines for 8K video images by V-by-One® US while maintaining the number of transmission lines for transmission of 4K video images by V-by-One® HS, THine has been collaborating in development of transmission lines with several harness, connector, and material manufacturers who agree to standardization of V-by-One® US technology.
While Totoku has already commercialized flexible flat cable “LEAFCONN” for applications such as TV, printer, and automobile, Totoku has succeeded in development of high-speed transmission flexible flat cable “LEAFCONN H” that provides potential compliance with V-by-One® US specification.
“THine plans to release ASSP product incorporating V-by-One® US technology in 2018, and would like to welcome new flexible flat cable that provides potential compliance with V-by-One® US specification. This helps customers select flexible flat cable for V-by-One® US from several cable manufacturers.
As 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympic Games and 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games are approaching, THine will continue to expand collaboration with harness, connector, and material manufacturers who agree to standardization of V-by-One® US technology, and will propose low-cost 4K and 8K video image transmission systems by V-by-One® US. THine aims to contribute to customers and innovation of video image market as a leading company of high-speed interface technology,” says Yasuhiro Takada, CEO of THine Electronics.
