`
`The LCD panel depicted is opening and closing using the hinge mechanism that attaches it to the main

`The ’724 Accused Mobile GPUs each include a video controller for providing digital video data to an
`LCD panel.
`
`For example, NVIDIA describes each ’724 Accused Mobile GPUs as a GPU, which meets the
`described limitation.
`
`NVIDIA defines a “Graphics Processing Unit” (GPU) as “a single chip processor with integrated
`transform, lighting, triangle setup/clipping, and rendering engines that is capable of processing a
`minimum of 10 million polygons per second.” NVIDIA's Definition of GPU (emphasis added)
`Rendering engines create digital video data, by definition. For that digital video data to appear on an
`LCD panel, it must be provided to the LCD panel. NVIDIA notebook GPUs, therefore, provide digital
`video data to the LCD panel.
`
`NVIDIA describes the ’724 Accused Mobile GPUs as notebook GPUs. See, e.g., GTX 860M

`For further example, the ’724 Accused Mobile GPUs are components of third party laptops, including
`Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and other third party manufacturers’ and vendors’ laptops, including the
`’724 Accused Velocity Laptops, that include a first external video port connecting a digital cable to an
`external digital monitor. For instance, the NoteMagix M17 includes a selection of either the NVIDIA
`GeForce GTX 860M, 870M, or 880M. The NoteMagix M17 also includes a DisplayPort port, which is
`a type of video port for connecting a digital cable to an external digital monitor. See, e.g., Configure
`Your M17 (listing the following external ports: “Hi Def Video Out, Display Port, Headphone,
`Microphone, 1 USB 2.0, 1 USB 3.0, eSATA, Firewire”); DisplayPort Standard at 19: “For external

`The DisplayPort monitor delivers a hot plug detect signal that is associated with the external monitor’s
`AC power status. See, e.g., DisplayPort Standard at 117: “Whenever the Hot Plug Detect signal is

`
`The ’724 Accused Velocity Laptops include a monitor power sensor that uses the hot plug detect
`signal to control whether the DisplayPort transmitter is enabled to send digital video signals to the
`external monitor. For example, when an Accused Velocity Laptop’s video controller detects AC power
`in a DisplayPort-connected digital monitor, the video controller engages in “Link Training” with the
`DisplayPort-connected monitor and also sends the “idle pattern.” See, e.g., DisplayPort Standard at

`217: “Upon detecting an IRQ Hot Plug Detect signal toggle, the Source Link Policy Maker must read
`the Receiver Capability field in the DPCD of the Sink Device and configure the link accordingly, using
`Link Training procedure as described in Section 2.5.3.3 and Section 3.5.1.3.”
`
`When the DisplayPort transmitter is enabled to send digital video signals, its output resembles that
`depicted in Table 2–4 of the DisplayPort Standard.
`
`
`
`Table 2–4, depicted in part above, shows that when the DisplayPort transmitter is configured to send
`digital video data, one or more of the data lanes carry digital video data, such as red, green, or blue
`data. Each row of Table 2–4 corresponds to the data received in one link symbol clock cycle. See
`DisplayPort Standard at 47. When the DisplayPort transmitter is not enabled to send digital video
`signals, no digital video data is transmitted on the four data lanes. For example, when transmitting the
`“idle pattern,” no digital video data is transmitted by the DisplayPort transmitter, and the DisplayPort
`transmitter is not enabled to send digital video data. See, e.g., DisplayPort Standard at 47:

`Pattern 1 consists of D10.2 characters, which are part of the 8b/10b line codes described both in ANSI
`X.230-1994 and on Wikipedia’s 8b/10b Encoding Page. While transmitting this pattern, each 10-bit
`symbol comprises the D10.2 pattern 0101010101, repeated without scrambling. See Table 3–9, 8b/10b
`Encoding. While sending this pattern, the DisplayPort transmitter is not enabled to send digital video
`data.
`
`Pattern 2 consists of the K28.5- symbol, 001111101, the D11.6 symbol, 1101000110, the K28.5+
`symbol, 1100000101, followed by the D11.6 symbol, and then several repetitions of the D10.2 symbol.
`While sending this pattern, the DisplayPort transmitter is not enabled to send digital video data.
`
`The hot plug signal is sent by the external monitor to a monitor power sensor in the host display
`adapter. See, e.g., DisplayPort Standard at Figure 4–14. The monitor power sensor enables the
`digital transmitter to send digital video signals by regulating signals sent to the digital transmitter that
`would cause the transmitter to enter Link Training and/or Idle Pattern transmission, as long as the hot
`plug line continues to be asserted high. See, e.g., DisplayPort Standard at 138:
