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.
