HDMI (which stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface.

To put it in jargon-free terms, its a high quality connection mechanism bewteen various digital home theater components.

HDMI is an interface standard that works between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, or an A/V receiver and an audio and/or video display or monitor, such as an LCD digital television (DTV), over a single cable.

HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable.

It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and provides 100% complete and correct transmission of both the visual and audio digital signals.

The HDMI Founders are the leading consumer electronics manufacturers such as Hitachi , Panasonic, Philips, Sony, Thomson (RCA), Toshiba, and Silicon Image.

Another important aspect is Digital Content Protection. A subsidiary of Intel - Digital Content Protection, LLC - is providing High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) for HDMI.

Because it provides content security, HDMI has the support of major movie studios such as Fox, Universal, Warner Bros. and Disney.

Sharp has announced a new LCD product that displays different pictures depending whether people are viewing the screen from the left or the right.

The “two-way viewing-angle LCD,” works by sending light from the backlight separately to the right and left sides of the screen.

It suggests uses such as one person surfing the Internet, using the display as a PC screen with another watching a movie or TV show.

It will also work for watching two TV channels at the same time: sport for the guy and a soap for the girl! :-)
The display will costs approx twice the standard type, will be available any time now.

It will probably be licensed by Sharp to other LCD TV vendors such as Sony, Sanyo, Panasonic, Grundig etc.
