A Plus Mobile Device Displays Notes

This document discusses different types of mobile device displays including LCD technologies like passive matrix, active matrix, in-plane switching (IPS), twisted nematic (TN), and vertical alignment (VA). It also covers organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays and touchscreens. Each display technology is compared in terms of characteristics like response time, viewing angle, color accuracy, and contrast ratio. The document seeks to explain these core mobile device display components and technologies.

Mobile Device Displays

At the end of this episode, I will be able to:

1. Identify mobile device display technologies.

Exam Objective: 1.2 - Compare and contrast the display components of mobile devices.

Description: In this episode, the we will be discuss the concepts surrounding modern mobile device displays such
as passive and active matrix, In-plane switching (IPS), Twisted nematic (TN), Vertical alignment (VA, organic light-
emitting diode (OLED), touchscreens, contrast ratio, inverters and more.

• Note - There is an error in the video that states a Twisted Nematic or TN screen is a type of LED screen.
This is an error.
• Correction:
o Twisted Nematic or TN panels are LCD screens and the older of the LCD-based screens when
compared to In-plane Switching (IPS) and Vertical Alignment panels
o Vertical Alignment or VA panels are LCD-based screens with greater color capabilities, compared
to VA panels
o In-plane Switching or IPS panels are LCD panels providing great response times, best color
performance

• Liquid crystal display (LCD)


o Passive matrix
♠ Slow changes
♠ Blurry images
o Active matrix
♠ Faster changes
♠ Brighter images
• In-plane switching (IPS) - These are TFT-based LCD screens
o Good - Faster
o Good - Wider angles
o Good - Higher color/contrast than many VA and TN panels
o Good - Color accuracy
o Bad - Motion blur
• Twisted nematic (TN) - These are older TFT-based LCD screens
o Good - Fastest response times
o Good - Reduction of motion blur
o Good - Lowest cost panel technology
o Bad - Reduced viewing angle
o Bad - Reduced color accuracy and contrast ratio
• Vertical alignment (VA) - These are TFT-based LCD screens
o Good - Highest contrast than TN panels
o Good - Wider viewing angles than TN panels
o Good - Color accuracy
o Good - High-end VA panels will rival IPS panels
o Bad - moderate contrast ratio
• Contrast ratio is the measured difference between the darkest blacks and the brightest whites a monitor
can produce. This measurement provides information about the amount of grayscale detail a monitor will
deliver. The higher the contrast ratio, the more visible detail.

• Organic light-emitting diode (OLED)


• Touch screens
• Replacement
o Digitizer
o Inverter
o Antenna placement

• Additional Reference Materials


o If applicable
