ARM has launched its highest performing and most power-efficient
4K-capable display processor to offer cost-effective, highly
efficient and superior viewing experiences. The ARM® Mali™-DP650
display processor aims to drive new visual content and gaming
experiences on mobile devices and act as a content passport for
users as they move from a smaller mobile screen to a larger screen,
such as a 4K smart television.
“The Mali-DP650 display processor will enable mobile screens
with multiple composition layers, for graphics and video, at Full
HD (1920x1080 pixels) resolutions and beyond while maintaining
excellent picture quality and extending battery life,” said Mark
Dickinson, general manager, media processing group, ARM.
“Smartphones and tablets are increasingly becoming content
passports, allowing people to securely download content once and
carry it to view on whichever screen is most suitable. The ability
to stream the best quality content from a mobile device to any
screen is an important capability ARM Mali display technology
delivers.”
Mali-DP650 supports a diverse range of display resolutions. It
is optimized for 2.5K formats including WQXGA (2560x1600 pixels)
for tablets and WQHD (2560x1440 pixels) for a mobile screen. The
ability to stream 4K (3840x2160 pixels) content from a mobile
device to larger screens is also making the production of higher
quality visual materials more cost-effective as viewers can get
access wherever they are.
“The mobile market is transitioning quickly toward high
resolution products beyond Full HD, with 2.5K the most popular
choice now and 4K a priority target,” said Lingyun Shi, director of
research, BOE Technology Group Co Ltd, one of the world’s leading
suppliers of semiconductor display technologies, products and
services. “BOE and ARM have formed a valuable partnership to ensure
each other’s complementing display products are future-proofed. The
ARM Mali-DP650 display processor caters to this as it is optimized
for 2.5K but is also 4K capable, and by using split display mode to
double the available pixel data rate along with a variable refresh
it enables higher resolutions in a highly energy-efficient
way.”
Additional Mali-DP650 in detail:
- Mali-DP650 supports an array of
advanced features including up to seven display layer composition,
rotation, high-quality scaling and energy-efficient technologies
such as ARM Frame Buffer Compression (AFBC) within a very small
silicon area
- By doubling the size of AXI bus to
128-bit and providing a MMU pre-fetcher solution, Mali-DP650 can
support more 4K composition layers and offers higher memory system
latency tolerance than the Mali-DP550 display processor
- Mali-DP650 is designed to efficiently
connect to ARM’s System MMU (ARM CoreLink™ MMU-500) enabling
systems to achieve up to 4K at 60fps display resolutions
- The split-display mode feature enables
MIPI D-PHY solutions to deliver resolutions beyond 1080p to mobile
panels and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support allows for panel
power saving, further extending the battery life
- Mali-DP650 is delivered with software
support for the latest version of AndroidTM optimized to work
alongside the Mali-GPU and Mali-Video drivers.
