Smartphone screen types & brief details?
Smartphone display/screen types & more details!!!
Many smartphones are in our market with different types, quality, features, price and uniqueness of displays. Lots of smartphone users don't know about their phone's details, IPS LCD, AMOLED and Super AMOLED, OLED, Ratings, etc, display. The users didn't know about their phone's display quality and strength, or how many things they could do. So in this article, I will give you all the details about the phone's displays.
Display types?
1.T FT (thin film transistors)
2 .IPS - LCD (In-plane switching - liquid crystal display)
3 . AMOLED and SAMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode)
4 . OLED (organic light-emitting diode)
5. Ratina
6. Mini LED
7. Micro LED and much more!
This time, most of the smartphone companies are using IPS - LCD panel type displays, because it's quite good and also cheap. Every premium phone must have AMOLED or OLED displays instead of iPhones use Retina type displays. Which also performs impressively. Now in 2021, OLED and OLED technology-based displays can be used in midrange (20– 30k) smartphones. Let's know the difference between all types of displays.
TFT-LCD (Thin Film Transistors)
This is very old technology that we are using for phone displays. Now it's very cheap at its price and less used by most smartphone companies. TFT display quality is not good and there is less use or consumption of these displays.
IPS-LCD (In-plane switching – Liquid crystal display)
IPS-LCD is also an old technology, but at this time, Most of the smartphones are using it. It is mostly used in budget smartphones like (5 - 12k), but in some cases it also provides mid–range (13 - 20k) smartphones. This is only because of cost cutting that phone companies do. IPS-LCD display quality is good, no, bad is also available at a cheap rate.
AMOLED and SAMOLED (Active - matrix organic - light - emitting - diode)
This is a different type of display technology, which is mainly made by a giant manufacturing company called Samsung. It is cheaper as well as thin compared to an IPS-LCD display. AMOLED display can produce millions of colours and it gives a brighter display that can easily be seen outdoors, and in the sunshine as well.
The ungrounded technology of OLED that is called Super-AMOLED has a slightly better performance than regular OLED. Samsung OLED can give more colours, contrast, sharpness, High brightness, etc, and it is thinner than OLED. Amoled/S-AMOLED has some uniqueness as compared to IPS-LCD, which has always-on display features in a fingerprint sensor, a thick design, and is easy to be visible also in the Sunshine and more things.
OLED (organic - light - emitting - diode)
The OLED display contains an LED made by organic material that emits light when the current is passing through it. The OLED screen can produce much more light, high contrast and more vibrant colours. It is very power efficient as well as thin, flexible and very bright.
PM-OLED (Passive - Material - OLED)
This is also a type of OLED display and it is much cheaper than an IPS-LCD display. PM-OLED screens have a short lifespan, which means this can't work for a long period. It is generally used in devices whose screen size is about 3 inches.

AMOLED vs IPS-LCD display!
2. AMOLED/ sAMOLED display Pros and Cons ???
Pros
The AMOLED display is truly Black because no backlight is used, and each pixel can automatically turn off for full blackness.
AMOLED screens have the most vivid colours and can produce high contrast, which makes them more helpful to be visible in outdoor & Sunlight conditions.
AMOLED displays are more power efficient because it has individual Pixels and it works (Pixels turn off when not needed) as per the requirement.
AMOLED screens also come with a flexibility feature that is already used in the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and the Samsung watch called the Galaxy Gear for 2.
Some unique features are there, just like Always on display and In-display fingerprint sensor, which can be used with this screen.
IPS-LCD displays can't provide these features, but in the future, it can because researchers are working on it.
Cons
AMOLED screen repair or replacement cost is higher than any IPS-LCD display, and in some cases it could be double.
The AMOLED displays are less durable and can easily crack if you don't use protection glass.
Screen Burning may also occur in AMOLED display after a specific period of time. In screen burning, the visuals can't perfectly appear because of some pixels being damaged.
2. IPS-LCD display Pros and Cons?
Pros
The IPS-LCD screen looks like a bright white display because it uses LED-Backlights that can push a lot of lights through its pixels.
This screen is now older, that's why it is reliable, and this technology came into the refinement stage of development.
The IPS-LCD display can provide great picture quality and also good viewing angles, and it gives us 178° of view without facing any colour shifting.
These types of displays are less expensive to replace IPS-LCD screens as compared to AMOLED displays. And also have a long lifespan because of LED-Backlights.
Cons
The IPS-LCD display can't provide a full Black view because of the always-on LED-backlights.
IPS LCD screens are not Flexible and do not support an In-display fingerprint sensor.
It is slightly thicker than AMOLED, that's why IPS-LCD used smartphones are sometimes bulky or heavy.
