Abstract
The invention provides an input/output (I/O) port assembly of a notebook computer connectable to a monitor or a television (TV), which comprises an image processor, an I/O port, and a signal transmission circuit interconnected between the image processor and the I/O port. When I/O port of the computer is coupled to monitor or TV, signal transmission circuit generates different signal voltage states. As such, image processor can output a correct signal to the coupled monitor or TV based on a change of the signal voltage states. With this, the computer is connectable to monitor or TV via a single I/O port and an adapter connected between the I/O port and monitor or TV.
