DisplayLink offers GPU‑agnostic USB graphics technology that lets any compatible device—Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Linux, Android, or ARM‑based systems—drive one or multiple external monitors via a single USB connection. Its chipsets support up to 8K @ 60 Hz or multiple 4K @ 120 Hz displays and can be integrated into docking stations, adapters, USB monitors, and other devices, simplifying deployment and extending the life of existing hardware for enterprise IT, OEMs, and system integrators.

Problem
Organizations and end‑users often need to add multiple high‑resolution displays to computers, tablets, POS terminals, or meeting‑room devices, but traditional graphics solutions require specific GPU hardware, bulky docking stations, or proprietary cabling, leading to compatibility issues, high costs, and complex deployments.
Solution
DisplayLink provides a GPU‑agnostic USB‑based graphics technology that enables any compatible device—running Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Linux, Android, or ARM‑based systems—to drive one or many external monitors through a single USB connection. By embedding video, audio, networking, and optional I/O functions into compact chipsets, DisplayLink eliminates dependence on specific graphics cards and reduces the need for separate docking hardware. The solution supports resolutions up to 8K @ 60 Hz (or multiple 4K @ 120 Hz streams) and can be integrated into docking stations, USB monitors, adapters, meeting‑room controllers, POS systems, and thin‑client cards, allowing organizations to extend display capabilities, prolong the life of existing equipment, and simplify IT deployment.
Target Audience
Primary customers are enterprise IT departments, OEMs, and system integrators that need flexible, multi‑display solutions for laptops, desktops, thin clients, POS terminals, digital signage, and meeting‑room equipment.
