Visionary Entrepreneur Pioneered DVI and
HDMI Connectivity Solutions
Silicon Image (NASDAQ:SIMG), a leading provider of multimedia
connectivity solutions and services, today announced that Dr. David
Lee, company founder and pioneer of the DVI™ and HDMI® connectivity
standards, has been inducted into the Consumer Electronics Hall of
Fame in an awards ceremony and dinner held on Monday, Nov. 10 in
New York City.
With his induction into the CE Hall of Fame, Dr. Lee joins an
elite group of inventors, engineers, business leaders and
journalists who are recognized for their contributions as pioneers
in the consumer electronics industry.
“Dr. David Lee’s contributions to the consumer electronics
industry are immeasurable,” said Camillo Martino, chief executive
officer of Silicon Image, Inc. “He is a true visionary whose ideas
and drive changed the entire landscape of digital connectivity, and
his success in building a strong foundation for Silicon Image is
what allows the company to continue to stand as the leading
connectivity innovator in the CE and mobile markets.”
Dr. Lee received his undergraduate, masters and PhD degrees in
engineering from UC Berkeley. He founded Silicon Image in 1995 with
the goal of creating a product to lower the cost of bandwidth and
high-speed connections by replacing analog audio/video cables with
a semiconductor solution capable of delivering high-speed digital
data for emerging high-definition digital displays. By 1998,
Silicon Image had developed the industry-changing DVI technology,
and the company played an instrumental role in the release of the
cutting-edge HDMI 1.0 specification in 2003. Today, more than 4
billion HDMI products have been sold worldwide.
In recognition of its contribution to modern television and home
theater technology, HDMI was awarded the Technology and Engineering
Emmy Award by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences
in 2009 and 2014.
Dr. Lee left Silicon Image in 2004, five years after taking the
company public, to pursue new entrepreneurial projects. In 2011, he
founded the photography technology startup company Dual Aperture,
and is active in many academic and philanthropic causes.
“I am tremendously honored to be chosen by the CEA for this
prestigious recognition,” said Dr. David Lee. “I have been
fortunate to have had the opportunity to pursue ideas that have
made such a significant impact in altering the high-speed
connectivity space at a crucial time in the technology’s
development. It has been extremely gratifying to see Silicon Image
continuing to set the standard in connectivity beyond DVI and HDMI
to MHL and 60GHz mobile consumer devices.”
