DisplayLink hires new CEO, raises $8M

DisplayLink, creator of the cute little USB Monitor Drivers that allow you to turn single-display systems into multi-display systems with ease, has just brought in a new CEO in Craig Ensley, former COO of Peregrine Semiconductor, and raised $8M in capital.

The DisplayLink gadget has a chip and software that configures the system automatically so that you can then use the two displays as a single work space. It expands the area where you can work and makes you more productive. DisplayLink calls this “true virtual graphics” and it can now connect up to six displays.

Still a relatively small company at 60 employees, the technology is showing up in more and more places.  With both wired and wireless USB devices, they’ve got huge potential.
