Even geeks get confused in these abbreviations, to say nothing of ordinary users. Today we will explain the main points of dissention between some technologies and describe their strong sides and weak sides in everyday words.<\/p>\n<p>There are only two main technologies which are now widely used to produce our smartphones\u2019 displays: <strong>LCD<\/strong> and <strong>OLED<\/strong>. All other types and names of technologies are simply derived from them. First of all, we need to know about two basic technologies.<\/p>\n<h3>LCD<\/h3>\n<p>The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) technology is applied everywhere: in TV-sets, monitors, smartphones, etc. Liquid crystals that underlie the technology have two important qualities: fluidity and anisotropy.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9975\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9975\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9975\" src=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lcd-screen.png\" alt=\"An elementary LCD-screen's scheme\" width=\"650\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lcd-screen.png 650w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lcd-screen-300x222.png 300w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lcd-screen-620x458.png 620w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lcd-screen-203x150.png 203w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lcd-screen-600x443.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9975\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An elementary LCD-screen&#8217;s scheme<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Anisotropy<\/strong> is the ability of a crystal to change its qualities from the point of its position in space.<\/p>\n<p>This feature is applied to take control of the light conductivity. With the help of transistors, current flows to the LCD-matrix and changes the cristal&#8217;s orientation. Then the light overcomes several filters. Finally, we see the pixel of the desired color. It is notable that all LCD-screens require a backlight source. Such sources are divided into external (for example, sunbeams) and built-in (for instance, LEDs) ones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TN, IPS, PLS<\/strong> and their numerous variations concern to smartphones\u2019 LCD-matrixes. It is necessary to explain the <strong>TFT<\/strong> abbreviation. It is used both in isolation and in various combinations like <strong>TFT LCD<\/strong> or <strong>TFT<\/strong> <strong>IPS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TFT<\/strong> (thin-film transistor) is equipped with the matrix of an active type. The main purpose of it is to control liquid crystals. All modern gadgets with LCD and AMOLED-displays have an active matrix. The passive one is practically not used.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9988\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9988\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9988\" src=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/structure-lcd-panel.png\" alt=\"An elementary TFT (thin-film transistor) LCD-displays scheme\" width=\"650\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/structure-lcd-panel.png 650w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/structure-lcd-panel-300x198.png 300w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/structure-lcd-panel-620x410.png 620w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/structure-lcd-panel-227x150.png 227w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/structure-lcd-panel-600x397.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9988\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An elementary TFT (thin-film transistor) LCD-displays scheme<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When we talk about IPS, TN or VA \/ MVA \/ PVA, we mean that they all refer to <strong>TFT LCD-displays<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>TN+film<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_9977\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9977\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9977\" src=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lcd-panel-type-tn.png\" alt=\"An elementary scheme of the TN LCD panel\" width=\"650\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lcd-panel-type-tn.png 650w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lcd-panel-type-tn-300x231.png 300w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lcd-panel-type-tn-620x477.png 620w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lcd-panel-type-tn-195x150.png 195w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lcd-panel-type-tn-600x462.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9977\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An elementary scheme of the TN LCD panel<\/p><\/div>\n<p>TN + film (Twisted Nematic + film) was the <strong>first technology<\/strong> successfully used to make smartphones\u2019 matrixes. It was created in order to make entry-level panels. This technology is also thought to be extremely cheap and simple. Its name is connected with the typical arrangement of crystals, when they are all formed in a spiral. Such traditional matrixes are called TN.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>short response time \u2014 only 16 ms (earlier it was the best result among all kinds of existing matrixes);<\/li>\n<li>low cost of production and, consequenlty, low price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Disadvantages and inconveniences:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>small angles of view;<\/li>\n<li>low level of contrast;<\/li>\n<li>low color reproduction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9978\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9978\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9978\" src=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ips-tn-angle.jpg\" alt=\"This picture shows what happens with images in TN at angles\" width=\"650\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ips-tn-angle.jpg 650w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ips-tn-angle-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ips-tn-angle-620x343.jpg 620w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ips-tn-angle-250x138.jpg 250w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/ips-tn-angle-600x332.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9978\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This picture shows what happens with images in TN at angles<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>IPS<\/h3>\n<p>IPS (in-plane switching) is the screen in which crystals do not twist into a spiral when they receive an electric pulse.

There is only one new notable tendency: LCD-screens are becoming obsolete and inferior to OLED-displays. In turn, OLED-displays are evolving into compact Micro-LED and useful QLED-displays. These technologies are expensive in production. That is why they are still in their infancy. It is quite possible that in the nearest future all our electronic devices will be equipped with only these displays.<\/p>\n<h2>Links<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpit.com\/smartphone-displays-explained\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smartphones Screens Explained<\/a> &#8211; AndroidPIT<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/uhd-oled-hdr-abbreviations-tv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UHD, OLED, HDR in TV \u2013 Meaning for Common Person<\/a> \u2013 iGotOffer<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/sell-cell-phone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to sell your old smartphone online<\/a> &#8211; iGotOffer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Types of Mobile Display?
