LVDS Cable Assembly

LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) cables carry high-speed digital video and data signals between circuit boards. The most common application is connecting a graphics controller (GPU or TCON) to an LCD display panel in laptops, monitors, medical imaging systems, industrial HMIs, and automotive infotainment. LVDS uses differential signaling with low voltage swings (~350mV) to achieve high data rates with minimal EMI radiation.

LVDS and eDP (Embedded DisplayPort) both carry display signals, but eDP is a newer standard with higher bandwidth per lane (up to 8.1 Gbps per lane vs ~945 Mbps per LVDS lane). LVDS requires more differential pairs for high resolutions, resulting in thicker cables. eDP uses fewer lanes with higher speed per lane, enabling thinner cables. We manufacture both types and can build transition cables that bridge LVDS controllers to eDP panels. See our DisplayPort cable assembly page for eDP options.

LVDS signals require 100-ohm differential impedance matching between transmitter, cable, and receiver. Even small impedance mismatches cause signal reflections that degrade the eye diagram and increase bit error rates. At multi-hundred megabit speeds, a 10% impedance deviation can cause display artifacts like flickering, color banding, or no signal. We verify impedance with TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) testing on every LVDS cable assembly.

Yes, we manufacture automotive-grade LVDS cables that meet USCAR and LV214 requirements. Our automotive LVDS assemblies use high-temperature materials rated -40°C to +105°C, pass salt spray and vibration testing, and support FAKRA and HSD (High Speed Data) connectors commonly used in ADAS camera links, instrument clusters, and rear-seat entertainment systems.

We work with all major LVDS connector families: JAE FI-X and FI-RE series for consumer displays, Hirose DF13 and DF19 for industrial panels, I-PEX CABLINE series for ultra-thin applications, Molex SlimStack for board-to-board, and IPEX 20455/20453 for laptop-style connections. We source connectors to match your specific panel and controller pinout requirements.

We have no minimum order quantity. Order 1 prototype for development testing or 100,000 units for mass production. Prototype LVDS cable assemblies typically ship within 3-5 business days for standard connector types. Volume production lead times are 2-3 weeks depending on connector availability and testing requirements.

Every LVDS cable undergoes 100% electrical testing: continuity, insulation resistance, and hi-pot testing. For impedance-critical assemblies, we perform TDR testing to verify 100-ohm differential impedance across the full cable length. Advanced testing includes differential pair skew measurement, crosstalk analysis, and functional display testing where we verify the cable produces a clean image on the target display panel.
