iPad does not support an extended-desktop view as you may be accustomed with a Windows PC or Mac - but instead permits the iPad display to be “mirrored” to a compatible external monitor/TV, preserving the iPad’s screen aspect-ratio. The iPad can also “stream” media content directly to an attached monitor.


Connect iPad to a display with a cable - Apple Support

AirPlay system requirements - Apple Support


Consider that in a touch-UI environment, an extended desktop would make no sense; you would not be able to interact with Apps that were only visible on the external monitor.
