Since there's zero indication Truly is involved in this panel in my
documentation - much less the number 5P65 - I'm not going to add that.

One other number I'm certain of is from DJN's side the model number of
this panel is 9A-3R063-1102B, which I assume is the specific combination
of components + frame and everything for Fairphone 4 device.

That one you can also find in this document (Ctrl-F for DJN)
https://www.fairphone.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/FP4_Information-for-repairers-and-recyclers.pdf
.. or on this picture:
https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/HgTquQPABg1mAMHD.huge

So something like djn,9a-3r063-1102b would also be somewhat valid I
guess?

So in short this panel is the model 9A-3R063-1102B from DJN, which uses
a Himax HX83112A driver IC.

And there's also AU Optronics listed as 玻璃厂家 ("glass manufacturer"?)
fwiw, though the display also uses Corning Gorilla Glass 5 so not sure
who's supplying what.
