ARM Mali-DP650, designed to maximize user experience, excellent power efficiency

ARM announced the ARM Mali-DP650, a mobile display processor supporting 4K resolution that delivers the best performance and power efficiency. This cost-effective product is designed to maximize the visual user experience and is highly power-efficient.

The ARM Mali-DP650 display processor is designed to provide user experiences for content or games requiring new visual effects to mobile devices. Additionally, since many users consume the same content from small mobile device screens to large screens on smart TVs supporting 4K resolution, it performs the function of a content passport that enables this.

“The Mali-DP650 display processor enables multiple composition layers on mobile device screens to support graphics and video at Full HD (1920 x 1080) or higher resolutions, while providing excellent image quality and long-lasting battery life.

Smartphones and tablets are increasingly becoming content passports, enabling optimized viewing of downloaded content regardless of screen size. "The ability to stream content with the highest quality on any screen of a mobile device is the most important feature provided by ARM Mali display technology," they stated.

The ARM Mali-DP650 display processor supports various resolution settings. For tablets, it is optimized for 2.5K resolutions, including WQXA (2560 x 1600), while for mobile device screens, it is optimized for WQHD (2560x1440) resolution. The ability to stream 4K (3840x 2160) content from mobile devices to large screens allows users to access high-quality video anywhere, which has the effect of reducing video production costs.

Lingyun Shi, Research Director at BOE Technology Group, one of the world's largest suppliers of semiconductor display technology, products, and services, said, “The mobile market is already rapidly shifting toward high-resolution products beyond Full HD. Currently, 2.5K is the most popular, but 4K will become the mainstream in the future. BOE and ARM have formed a strategic partnership to develop complementary display products capable of responding to the future market.”

"In addition, the ARM Mali-DP650 display processor, which is optimized for 2.5K and also supports 4K, meets such expectations. This processor supports split-screen mode to double the available pixel data transfer rate and enables support for higher resolutions while maintaining high energy efficiency through variable refresh," they stated.
