Functional Safety Test for In-Car Displays
29 January 2026 — Teledyne LeCroy announced the addition of Video Electronics Standards Association’s (VESA) DisplayPort Automotive Extension (AE) support to its industry-leading quantumdata M42de DisplayPort 2.1 Analyzer/Generator system, ushering in a new era of functional safety and interoperability for next-generation in-vehicle displays.
As automotive technology evolves toward CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, and Electrified) framework vehicles are integrating more high-resolution interior displays than ever before. These displays must meet stringent ISO 26262 functional safety standards and enhanced security requirements. However, the promise of the connected car revolution can only be realized with emerging technologies like DisplayPort AE which can deliver robust safety, security, and interoperability for advanced infotainment systems.
“VESA’s new Automotive Extension Services standard builds on the latest DisplayPort and eDP technologies to deliver a new era of safety and security for in-vehicle displays,” said Bill Lempesis, Executive Director of VESA. “With Teledyne LeCroy’s timely support for testing AE-enabled devices, developers now have a critical resource to ensure safety and reliability as this important protocol moves forward.”
With the introduction of DisplayPort AE support, Teledyne LeCroy continues to lead in enabling early adopters of VESA technologies to test and validate designs and accelerate innovation. The new functionality in the quantumdata M42de empowers automakers and Tier-1 suppliers to achieve uncompromising safety, seamless interoperability and compliance in accordance with VESA’s upcoming DisplayPort AE logo certification program.
The quantumdata Automotive Extensions support is now available to be ordered as an option for the quantumdata M42de validation platform.
