Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right forum for my question, but here goes...

Someone recently gave me a touchscreen OLED display (model number: Samsung ATNA40JU01_MFPC Rev 1.0), probably from a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga, but I don't have the original laptop, so I don't know exactly which laptop it's from. I wanted to see if I could get an adapter to use it as an external display, but there appear to be two 40-pin eDP connectors on it (see attached images). According to https://hackaday.io/project/179868-all-about-laptop-display-reuse/log/209701-common-edp-laptop-panel-pinouts, 40-pin connectors can mean either a higher resolution than 1080p or at most 1080p+touch (although I did see other displays that appear to have a higher resolution+touch, but only a single connection - is that maybe possible in newer versions of the eDP protocol?).

My theory was that this particular display is split into two parts that are each controlled by a regular eDP connection with touch (two eDP lanes+touch, as shown in the Hackaday article). I really don't have any experience with this, though, so I wanted to ask if anyone else here knows more. I tried to search online for this display and generally displays with two connectors, but I couldn't find any more useful information.

One more note: I don't really need this display, I have plenty of other laptop displays I could use if I needed them. I really just want to figure out what's going on because I'm too invested now...

Thanks in advance for any help!
