Creation
In 2004, the Common Building Block program promoted the use of industry-accepted mechanical and electrical specifications for three notebook components, or 'ingredients': 14.1-inch, 15-inch, and 15.4-inch liquid crystal displays (LCDs); 9.5mm and 12.7mm optical disk drives (ODDs); and 2.5-inch hard disk drives (HDDs). The program consists of:
- A Web site to provide a centralized repository of information about the program, participants, and platform and ingredient specifications
- A continually updated list of CBB-compliant ingredients (submitted by suppliers)
- A testing and verification service for candidate products
The repository site mobileformfactors.org was established to standardize components, currently including:
- Hard disk drives
- Optical disk drives
- Liquid crystal display panels
- Battery packs
- AC/DC power adapters
- Keyboards
- Customizable notebook panels
