1. Methods for repairing mobile phone screens



1. Replace the outer screen (press screen) using equipment



Screen pressing is a common method for repairing broken mobile phone screens, primarily targeting repairs to the outer glass layer of the screen. Since it involves repairing the outer screen, the inner screen of your phone must be intact before this method can be applied. Screen pressing involves reattaching the new outer glass layer and display layer together, and then using professional equipment to press them together, ensuring they are tightly combined. The advantage of this method is that the repair cost is relatively low, and once repaired, it will not affect other functions of the phone.




However, it should be noted that screen pressing requires professional equipment and technology, which cannot be operated by ordinary repair shops, and it is also impossible to press the screen by oneself.





2. Replace the entire screen



If our phone screen is severely damaged and the internal screen is already damaged (screen display is abnormal, screen leakage, lines, black screen), then we need to consider replacing the screen.



Screen replacement is the process of removing the entire screen and replacing it with a new one. The advantage of this method is that it can completely solve the problem, but the price of the original screen is relatively high, and reliable repairers need to be found to ensure the quality of the screen.



2、 The price for changing the screen

The price of screen replacement varies depending on the brand, model, and repair method. Generally speaking, if only the external screen is damaged, we only need to find a professional repair shop to replace the external screen.
We are a professional wholesale company for various mobile phone screens and accessories, with over 10 years of one-stop procurement services for mobile phone accessories. We offer affordable prices, reliable quality, and guaranteed after-sales service. Please feel free to contact us！





If the internal screen is damaged, replacing the original screen may be more expensive. If you have high requirements, you can directly replace it with an original screen assembly. If the requirements are not very high, you can replace it with a brand screen assembly. If it is only a spare machine or just wants to export data, you can directly replace it with an assembled screen.





In addition, it is recommended to choose to have your phone screen repaired in store or by mail. Some home repair and screen replacement services often use an assembled screen to replace your original screen, especially if your phone only has a broken external screen. When replacing a phone screen, don't just look at the price. The price of replacing the external screen is closely related to the repair techniques of the technician. Some cheap repair shops have many tricks for replacing the external screen, such as not bearing the risk of the internal screen, which will ultimately lead to the price of repairing the screen increasing several times. The same goes for replacing the screen assembly. There are assembled screens, branded screens, press fit screens, face change screens, original disassembled screens, original touch screen replacement, screen replacement, and so on in the market. Anyway, remember that you get what you pay for. When repairing a screen, try to go to a store that only does repairs. For those who are not familiar with screens, please contact me. We can provide wholesale and after-sales services for various screens。Tina WhatsApp:+86 13824303378





In summary, if your phone screen is damaged and only the external screen is broken, we only need to replace the external screen. If the internal screen is damaged, we need to replace the entire screen assembly. We can choose the appropriate repair method according to our own situation. At the same time, when choosing a repair shop, it is necessary to choose a reliable merchant to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the repair.

Everyone knows that a screen is composed of individual pixels, and what we call "1920 × 1080" actually refers to the number of vertical and horizontal pixels. The essential difference between OLED and LCD lies in their display principles. OLED can be simply understood as composed of countless red, green, and blue light bulbs that can emit light on their own, and macro display can be controlled by controlling the brightness and brightness of each bulb. And there will be a backlight panel on the back of the LCD, which displays different colors by passing through "filter paper" of different colors. ''



The working principle of LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is to use liquid crystal molecules to change their alignment direction under the action of an electric field, thereby controlling the passage of light and achieving image display. LCD screens require a backlight source to illuminate the liquid crystal layer, and display is achieved by modulating the backlight source through the liquid crystal layer.



OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) is a self luminous display technology where each pixel can independently emit light without the need for a backlight source. When current passes through organic materials, light is emitted, and the brightness is adjusted by controlling the magnitude of the current.



Simply put, LCD is like a transparent piece of paper that requires sunlight or light to see the handwriting, while OLED is like a luminous panel that can emit light on its own.



What are the advantages and disadvantages of LCD and OLED screens compared?



The advantages of LCD are very obvious. Firstly, it does not have color cast like OLED. Secondly, LCD generally has full DC dimming or high-frequency PWM dimming. Therefore, another recognized advantage of LCD is that it is very eye friendly. In addition, LCD screens have a longer lifespan, even if it takes four to five years, it is difficult for the screen to burn out even if it turns yellow. LCD screens are more durable. ''

OLED screens have strong adaptability to new technologies, but they also have some drawbacks, such as easy burn-in, color cast, and relatively short lifespan. The burn-in phenomenon of OLED screens refers to the possibility of permanent pixel damage when a static image is displayed for a long time, resulting in residual images on the screen. And LCD screens do not have this characteristics of LCD OLED display principle: The backlight illuminates the liquid crystal layer, and the liquid crystal layer modulates the light to emit light independently. Each pixel can emit light independently. Advantages include eye protection, long lifespan, low screen burn-in, low cost, high contrast, fast response speed, and bright colors. Disadvantages include low contrast, slow response speed, uneven color, easy screen burn-in, color cast, and relatively short lifespan. Applications include televisions, computers, mobile phones, smart watches, VR devices, etc



From the table, we can see that LCD and OLED each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no distinction between good and bad.





Is OLED or LCD better for mobile phone screens?



In fact, both types of screens have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although it cannot be directly measured by good or bad, what is certain is that due to the current development of smartphones towards full screen displays and the popularity of under screen fingerprints

From a technical perspective, OLED screens are the better choice because they are lightweight, have good display effects, and save power, all of which are means to enhance the user experience. From the user's perspective. ''



We also know that LCD technology has been developing for a long time and is more mature in terms of technology. Even with lower cost control, it can still display more natural and accurate color effects. ''



There is no standard answer to this question, and it needs to be judged based on individual usage needs and preferences.

If you are a user who pursues eye protection and durability, you can choose an LCD screen. LCD screens have better eye protection effects, longer lifespan, and are less prone to screen burn-in.



If you pursue the ultimate display effect, you can choose OLED screen. OLED screens have higher contrast, faster response speed, and brighter colors, which can bring a more immersive visual experience.





What are the future development trends of LCD and OLED screens?



In fact, there are significant differences between LCD and OLED in terms of display principles, energy consumption, and forms. OLED is relatively better as its light-emitting principle is more advanced. ''



With the continuous development of technology, both LCD and OLED screens are constantly advancing. The cost of LCD screens is decreasing, and there are also improvements in image quality and response speed. The lifespan of OLED screens is also constantly extending, and the problem of screen burn-in is gradually being solved.



In the future, LCD and OLED screens may be integrated and developed in more fields, such as Mini LED backlight technology and quantum dot technology, which will bring better picture quality and richer color performance.

01Overview of Screen Technology
◆ Basic structure of capacitive touch screen
In the evolution of touch screen technology, we have witnessed the competitive landscape from IPS, AMOLED, SLCD to OGS, while also witnessing the rise of In cell and n-cell technologies. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the three screen technologies of In Cell, On Cell, and OGS, we first need to analyze the basic structure of the screen. The structure of a capacitive touch screen is divided into three layers: the top layer is a glass cover plate, which is responsible for protecting the screen and transmitting tactile sensations; The middle layer is a capacitive touch layer, responsible for sensing and responding to touch signals; The bottom layer is the display panel, responsible for presenting images and colors.
The capacitive touch layer is composed of an ITO touch film layer and an ITO substrate. The display panel consists of an upper substrate, a liquid crystal layer, and a lower substrate from top to bottom. In the early days, frame pasting technology created a layer of air between the touch layer and the display panel, which affected the display effect. However, by using full lamination technology to eliminate this layer of air, the reflection problem of the screen has been significantly improved, making it more transparent when lit up and darker when turned off, eliminating the gray and white appearance.
Differences in Traditional Screen Structure
Traditional G/G and GFF screens both follow a similar structure: cover glass, touch layer, and display panel. But the difference in touch layer is the key to these two screens. Specifically, the structure of G/G and GFF screens is similar, with the main difference being the touch layer. The touch layer of G/G screens consists of one layer of ITO substrate and one layer of ITO touch film, while the touch layer of GFF screens consists of two layers of ITO substrate and two layers of ITO touch film (named ITO: X and ITO: Y respectively). Obviously, G/G screens have an advantage in thickness.

Comparison of Emerging Screen Technologies
Nowadays, OGS screens are favored by touch panel manufacturers, while In Cell and On Cell screens are highly regarded by display panel manufacturers such as Apple LG、 Samsung and Sharp, among others. Both of these screen structures have abandoned the traditional touch glass layer, thus achieving a thinner and lighter design. However, the key difference between the two lies in the integration position of the touch layer. Specifically, the OGS screen uses the same glass to achieve touch functionality; In Cell embeds the touch film layer into the display panel; On Cell places the touch film layer on top of the upper substrate. This difference affects screen design and performance.

02Comparison of In Cell, On Cell, and OGS
◆ Display effect differences
OGS screens perform better than In Cell and On Cell in terms of transparency and visual effects. Therefore, although well-known brands such as Apple and Samsung use In Cell screens, their simple screen transparency and visual effects are not superior to some domestic phones that use OGS screens.
◆ Lightweight and impact resistant
In terms of lightness and thinness, In Cell stands out with its lightweight and compact features. In Cell is the lightest and thinnest due to the integration of the touch layer into the display panel, which is also one of the reasons why iPhone can maintain its lightness and thinness even with a metal body. In contrast, OGS and On Cell are slightly inferior in terms of thinness. In terms of screen impact and drop resistance, On Cell performs the best, followed by OGS, while In Cell is relatively weaker. It is worth noting that OGS, by combining the cover glass with the touch layer, may weaken the strength of the glass during the processing, making the screen relatively fragile.

◆ Touch effect and technical complexity
OGS screens have higher sensitivity, while In Cell and On Cell interaction have lower sensitivity, but rely less on touch chips. High sensitivity may also bring problems, such as "screen jumping" phenomenon, which may be caused by fine dust, sweat or water vapor leading to misoperation of the touch screen. In contrast, in Cell screens directly integrate touch and liquid crystal layers, resulting in higher sensing noise and requiring specialized touch chips for filtering and correction. OGS and On Cell screens have relatively low dependence on touch chips.

Production cost and yield rate
From a technical perspective, the technical complexity of In Cell and On Cell is higher than OGS, and the difficulty of production control also increases accordingly, leading to an increase in manufacturing costs. In terms of yield, the initial production yield of In Cell screens was relatively low, which affected the supply of iPhone 5. But with the continuous technological investment and process improvement of manufacturers, In Cell technology was once affected by low yield rates, and now the yield rate has increased, approaching On Cell and OGS.

It is necessary for us to learn how to distinguish between external and internal screen issues.



External screen broken: It's just that the glass screen of the external screen is broken, but the touch and display are normal. In this case, only the outer glass needs to be replaced, that is, only the external screen needs to be replaced.



Internal screen malfunction: insensitive touch or screen jumping;



The display is also incomplete, with blackened and yellowed parts on the screen, indicating liquid leakage from the LCD screen; Horizontal and vertical lines are all signs of a broken display screen and require replacement of the inner screen, which is the screen assembly;
