**Key features**

The display subsystem supports the following key features:

- Upstream Wayland protocol with extended support from Qualcomm
- Weston with Snapdragon display manager (SDM) backend module
- DisplayPort over USB Type-C (SST)
- DSI 1.2
- Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) 1.4 for embedded panels
- MIPI DSI D-PHY
- Unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI)

**Capabilities**

The device supports two displays simultaneously and offers various configurations for maximum concurrency. The following table summarizes the capabilities.

Table : Capabilities and configurations

| DSI 0 | <ul class="simple"><br><li><p>FHD+ (1200 × 2520) at 120 fps (8-bit)</p></li><br><li><p>Supports Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) display stream compression (DSC) 1.2</p></li><br></ul> |
| --- | --- |
| DSI 0 to HDMI | 1920 × 1080p at 60 fps |
| DisplayPort | <ul class="simple"><br><li><p>3840 × 2160 resolution at 30 fps, 24 bpp (requires two<br>lanes at HBR3)</p></li><br><li><p>Single stream transport</p></li><br><li><p>Concurrent functionality of DisplayPort and USB 3.0</p></li><br></ul> |
| eDP | <ul class="simple"><br><li><p>A maximum resolution of 1920 × 1080p at 60 fps</p></li><br><li><p>Non-pluggable eDP panels</p></li><br><li><p>Concurrent functionality with the DisplayPort</p></li><br></ul> |
| Maximum concurrency | <ul><br><li><p>FHD+ (1200 × 2520) (8‑bit) at 60 fps with DSI primary + 4K at 30 fps DisplayPort</p><br><p>Or</p><br></li><br><li><p>1920 × 1080p at 60 fps with DSI to HDMI primary + 4K at 30 fps DisplayPort</p><br><p>Or</p><br></li><br><li><p>1920 × 1080p at 60 fps with eDP primary + 4K at 30 fps DisplayPort</p></li><br></ul> |

**Advanced features**

Note

This content is applicable to QCS6490/QCS5430.

The display subsystem is designed to enhance the visual performance and
efficiency of the device. A key feature of the display subsystem is to
provide improved picture quality with HDR10 support for internal
display. This feature is available to licensed developers with authorized access.

**Limitations**

The DSI and the embedded DisplayPort (eDP) cannot work at the same time. Only one of these interfaces can be used to power up the primary panel at a time.
