eDP (embedded DisplayPort) cables are beginning to supersede LVDS as the cable assembly of choice for connecting driver boards to TFT displays. They use the same digital signal processing protocol as DisplayPort cables, but in a smaller physical connector.
Usually manufactured from micro-coaxial cables, eDP cable assemblies require fewer connections than LVDS. They also provide all the power, data and control signals through a single assembly. LVDS components may require 18 signal wires, compared to 5 for eDP cables.
