“15年前我們的GDP是贏南韓，15年後的今天我們的GDP是輸南韓差不多3千塊美金
這就是我們要反省跟檢討的地方。”

Chinese TO English translation - consuming electricity (draft)

Since the rapid revolution in telecommunication industry, weight of automobile, tablet PC are lighter than ever, transmission speed and resolution version quality are yet high. Ways of how to manufacture cellular phones in PC industry emphasize on miniaturizing components, rising the data transformation speed, lowering battery-consuming rate and increasing resolution quality (4k) in an effort to recharge battery in an efficient manner. Thus, cellular phones are equipped with high-quality communication interface that enable people to easily connect to 3C products such as PC and TV. 

Take high transmission interfaces for example, currently different technical specifications including HDMI, MHL, USB 3.0, MyDP are contending fiercely in cellular phone and Tablet PC market. Whether the Thunderbolt, a hardware interface as well, would seize chance jump into the market, it is worth of anticipating. 

Nowadays, based on various standard of video camera technique, HDMI is the most widely-used one that co-created by cooperation including SONY, Panasonic, Philip, Hitachi, Silicon Image, Technicolor and Toshiba. The cooperation federally enacted regulation to be followed. Through HDMI-compliant source device, one cable in transmitting video and audio sound can also provide uncompressed digital video up to 1080p, 7.1 surround sound. Also, HDMI in assistance to High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) has functions on 3D, 4K resolution and HEAC etc.

Up to present, HDMI mostly transmit video and audio signal onto TV via HDMI connector. However, since the HDMI only has transmissive signal without offering battery-charging function, the appearing of MHL specifications is aimed at assigning pin 5 that Micro USB is using now instead of pin 19 for the benefit of exporting high quality resolution and audio message. 

MHL 2.0 , an industry standard for a mobile audio/video interface, it offers digital HD video up to 1080p, 8 round sound, supporting HDCP, 3D and the pattern of Packed Pixel. Furthermore, it offers the cellular phone charging function. (Up to 900mAh)

由於當今手機/平板越做越輕薄、傳輸速度越來越高，畫質也越來越好。因此手機所採用的技術規格趨勢，必須朝向接口小型化、高速資料傳輸、低耗電、更高解析度(如4K)、更便捷的充電方式邁進。因此，手機紛紛搭載更高速的傳輸介面，來與其他產品(如電腦/電視)做連接。

以高速傳輸介面標準為例，目前就有HDMI、MHL、USB 3.0、MyDP等技術規格在角逐龐大的手機/平板的市場。而Thunderbolt也蠢蠢欲動，將來是否有機會打入手機市場，也值得觀察。

在當今各種視訊技術標準，以目前最廣泛的HDMI來說，係由SONY、Panasonic、飛利浦、日立、Silicon Image、Technicolor、東芝等廠商所創立並聯合制定規範。HDMI採用一條纜線來傳輸視訊與音訊的內容，可提供傳輸1080p未壓縮高清影像、7.1聲道未壓縮音訊，並支援高頻寬數位內容保護機制，以及3D畫面、4Kx2K解析度，與HEAC等功能。

目前HDMI連接方式是透過HDMI連接線，以將手機的影音訊號傳送至電視。然而HDMI只有傳輸訊號，無法提供充電功能。因此後來MHL規格的出現，主要是將標準HDMI傳輸線的19組針腳，縮減為現有Micro USB的5組針腳，以連接電視、顯示器來輸出高畫質影像、音訊內容。

以當今的MHL 2.0標準，可提供高達1080p HD視訊、8聲道音訊，支援HDCP，以及3D畫面、Packed Pixel模式，此外還支援直接從電視來為手機充電的功能(高達900mAh電流)。
