This topic describes the architecture of the LCD Extension.

+

The LCD Extension (or video driver) is implemented as a standard kernel +extension and is loaded by the kernel at boot time.

+

The public interface to the LCD Extension is accessed through the User-Side +Hardware Abstraction (HAL) interfaces HAL::Get() and HAL::Set(). +The LCD Extension registers itself with the kernel as the handler for the EHalGroupDisplay function +group and implements the functions.

+

From Symbian^3 there is a new graphics architecture called ScreenPlay. +When ScreenPlay is in use, the Display +Channel Driver can provide a logical device driver proxy between the +Composition Implementation and the LCD Extension. However, the use of the +Display Channel Driver is optional and implementers may decide not to use +it.

+

When ScreenPlay is not in use, the Graphics Screen +Driver component is a client of the LCD Extension. The Screen Driver +is platform-specific and must be ported by the device creator.

+

The Text Window Server also implements a version of the Screen Driver for +a simple console user interface.
