14 This document defines device tree properties common to several classes of
15 display panels. It doesn't constitue 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

58 Most display panels are restricted to a single resolution and
59 require specific display timings. The panel-timing subnode expresses those
62 - $ref: panel-timing.yaml#
66 Some display panels supports several resolutions with different timing.
67 The display-timings bindings supports specifying several timings and
68 optional specify which is the native mode.
70 - $ref: display-timings.yaml#
79 Panels receive video data through one or multiple connections. While
80 the nature of those connections is specific to the panel type, the
81 connectivity is expressed in a standard fashion using ports as specified
82 in the device graph bindings defined in
83 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/graph.txt.
86 $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/phandle
88 Some panels expose EDID information through an I2C-compatible
89 bus such as DDC2 or E-DDC. For such panels the ddc-i2c-bus contains a
90 phandle to the system I2C controller connected to that bus.
95 This panel is supposed to communicate that it's ready via HPD
96 (hot plug detect) signal, but the signal isn't hooked up so we should
97 hardcode the max delay from the panel spec when powering up the panel.
101 # Many display panels can be controlled through pins driven by GPIOs. The nature
102 # and timing of those control signals are device-specific and left for panel
103 # device tree bindings to specify. The following GPIO specifiers can however be
104 # used for panels that implement compatible control signals.
109 Specifier for a GPIO connected to the panel enable control signal. The
110 enable signal is active high and enables operation of the panel. This
111 property can also be used for panels implementing an active low power down
112 signal, which is a negated version of the enable signal. Active low enable
113 signals (or active high power down signals) can be supported by inverting
114 the GPIO specifier polarity flag.
116 Note that the enable signal control panel operation only and must not be
117 confused with a backlight enable signal.
122 Specifier for a GPIO connected to the panel reset control signal.
123 The reset signal is active low and resets the panel internal logic
124 while active. Active high reset signals can be supported by inverting the
125 GPIO specifier polarity flag.
130 Display panels require power to be supplied. While several panels need
131 more than one power supply with panel-specific constraints governing the
132 order and timings of the power supplies, in many cases a single power
133 supply is sufficient, either because the panel has a single power rail, or
134 because all its power rails can be driven by the same supply. In that case
135 the power-supply property specifies the supply powering the panel as a
136 phandle to a regulator.
140 # Most display panels include a backlight. Some of them also include a backlight
141 # controller exposed through a control bus such as I2C or DSI. Others expose
142 # backlight control through GPIO, PWM or other signals connected to an external
143 # backlight controller.
146 $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/phandle
148 For panels whose backlight is controlled by an external backlight
149 controller, this property contains a phandle that references the
