14 This document defines device tree properties common to several classes of
15 display panels. It doesn't constitute a device tree binding specification by
16 itself but is meant to be referenced by device tree bindings.
18 When referenced from panel device tree bindings the properties defined in this
19 document are defined as follows. The panel device tree bindings are
20 responsible for defining whether each property is required or optional.
23 # Descriptive Properties
26 Specifies the width of the physical area where images are displayed. This
27 property is expressed in millimeters and rounded to the closest unit.
31 Specifies the height of the physical area where images are displayed. This
32 property is expressed in millimeters and rounded to the closest unit.
36 The label property specifies a symbolic name for the panel as a
37 string suitable for use by humans. It typically contains a name inscribed
38 on the system (e.g. as an affixed label) or specified in the system's
39 documentation (e.g. in the user's manual).
41 If no such name exists, and unless the property is mandatory according to
42 device tree bindings, it shall rather be omitted than constructed of
43 non-descriptive information. For instance an LCD panel in a system that
44 contains a single panel shall not be labelled "LCD" if that name is not
45 inscribed on the system or used in a descriptive fashion in system

65 Most display panels are restricted to a single resolution and
66 require specific display timings. The panel-timing subnode expresses those
68 $ref: panel-timing.yaml#
72 Some display panels support several resolutions with different timings.
73 The display-timings bindings supports specifying several timings and
74 optionally specifying which is the native mode.
75 $ref: display-timings.yaml#
79 $ref: /schemas/graph.yaml#/properties/port
82 $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/phandle
84 Some panels expose EDID information through an I2C-compatible
85 bus such as DDC2 or E-DDC. For such panels the ddc-i2c-bus contains a
86 phandle to the system I2C controller connected to that bus.
91 This panel is supposed to communicate that it's ready via HPD
92 (hot plug detect) signal, but the signal isn't hooked up so we should
93 hardcode the max delay from the panel spec when powering up the panel.
98 If Hot Plug Detect (HPD) is connected to a GPIO in the system rather
99 than a dedicated HPD pin the pin can be specified here.
103 # Many display panels can be controlled through pins driven by GPIOs. The nature
104 # and timing of those control signals are device-specific and left for panel
105 # device tree bindings to specify. The following GPIO specifiers can however be
106 # used for panels that implement compatible control signals.
111 Specifier for a GPIO connected to the panel enable control signal. The
112 enable signal is active high and enables operation of the panel. This
113 property can also be used for panels implementing an active low power down
114 signal, which is a negated version of the enable signal. Active low enable
115 signals (or active high power down signals) can be supported by inverting
116 the GPIO specifier polarity flag.
118 Note that the enable signal control panel operation only and must not be
119 confused with a backlight enable signal.
124 Specifier for a GPIO connected to the panel reset control signal.
125 The reset signal is active low and resets the panel internal logic
126 while active. Active high reset signals can be supported by inverting the
127 GPIO specifier polarity flag.
132 GPIO spec for the tearing effect synchronization signal.
133 The tearing effect signal is active high. Active low signals can be
134 supported by inverting the GPIO specifier polarity flag.
139 Display panels require power to be supplied. While several panels need
140 more than one power supply with panel-specific constraints governing the
141 order and timings of the power supplies, in many cases a single power
142 supply is sufficient, either because the panel has a single power rail, or
143 because all its power rails can be driven by the same supply. In that case
144 the power-supply property specifies the supply powering the panel as a
145 phandle to a regulator.
149 # Most display panels include a backlight. Some of them also include a backlight
150 # controller exposed through a control bus such as I2C or DSI. Others expose
151 # backlight control through GPIO, PWM or other signals connected to an external
152 # backlight controller.
155 $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/phandle
157 For panels whose backlight is controlled by an external backlight
158 controller, this property contains a phandle that references the
