Jolla has the same "bug" as N9: when choosing display sleep time, you get options from 30s to 10 min. BUT there should be option to have it always on: "Display sleep after never".
You need to have the display always on for example navigation.

While neither N9 nor Jolla has these available via settings UI, both still inherit the functionality from N900 and earlier Maemo devices. Thus "always on when charging" can be enabled from command line via: "mcetool --set-inhibit-mode=stay-on-with-charger". This keeps the display from blanking from app ui when charging. To stop blanking from lock screen too, add also "--set-tklock-blank=disabled".
For stopping all timer based blanking, convenience option "mcetool --set-demo-mode=on" can be used. Invoking "mcetool --set-demo-mode=off" resets both tklock-blank and inhibit-mode back to defaults.
Note: None of the above applies for applicationslike navigation, video player, etc that want to keep the display on. They need to use either the legacy D-Bus interface or convenience C++/QML wrappers at: https://github.com/nemomobile/nemo-keepalive for blank prevention.

Display "always on when charging" is needed.
