Time development of cellular automata in $d$ dimensions is mapped onto equilibrium statistical mechanics of Ising models in $d+1$ dimensions. Directed percolation is equivalent to a cellular automaton, and thus to an Ising model. For a particular case of directed percolation we find ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\parallel}}=2$, ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}=1$, ${\ensuremath{\eta}}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}=0$.
