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.

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;



If your phone accidentally breaks, we suggest you choose our screen. We offer various types of phone screens, including incell, OLED, LCD, reliable quality, easy installation, reasonable price, and after-sales guarantee.

1、 The main types of mobile phone screens

At present, the mainstream mobile phone screens are mainly divided into two categories: LCD (liquid crystal screen) and OLED (organic light-emitting diode screen), and OLED screens have derived various technical solutions such as AMOLED, LTPO, Micro LED, etc.

1. LCD screen: classic and durable, with realistic colors

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), also known as liquid crystal display screen, works by providing light source through the backlight layer, and then controlling the degree of light passing through through the rotation of liquid crystal molecules to display different colors.

Features:

✅ Natural color: Due to the native color of LCD screens, it is suitable for users who like realistic display effects.

✅ Good eye protection effect: LCD screens do not experience the common "flicker" problem of OLED screens, making them more eye friendly.

✅ Long lifespan: LCD screens are not prone to burn-in (there will be no residual images after long-term use).

❌ Low contrast: Due to the dependence of LCD on backlight, it cannot display pure black, and black often appears grayish.

❌ High power consumption: The backlight layer is always on, even if the black part is displayed, it is still consuming power.

❌ Difficult to make very thin: LCD screens have a large thickness, which is not conducive to ultra-thin phone design.

Common LCD screen types:

IPS LCD: With a large viewing angle and excellent color performance, it is commonly used in mid-range models.

TFT LCD: outdated technology with light colors and high energy consumption, has gradually been phased out.

Suitable for:

✅ People who use mobile phones for a long time (less flicker, better eye protection)

✅ Users who prefer natural colors (avoid oversaturated colors)

✅ Users with limited budget (LCD screen costs are relatively low)

Representative models: iPhone 11, iPhone SE 3, Redmi Note 12



2. OLED screen: vibrant colors, high contrast

OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) screens are composed of self luminous pixels, each of which can emit light independently without the need for a backlight layer, thus achieving pure black display and high contrast.

Features:

✅ Colorful: OLED screens have a wider color gamut and more vibrant display effects.

✅ High contrast: It can present true black and display more vividly.

✅ Lower energy consumption: OLED screens can turn off pixels when displaying black areas, reducing power consumption (but higher power consumption when displaying white).

✅ The screen can be made thinner and more flexible, which is beneficial for foldable and curved screen designs.

❌ Easy screen burn-in: Long term fixed display of a certain screen may cause ghosting (such as navigation bar, status bar).

❌ Strobe issue: OLED screens typically use PWM dimming, which may cause eye fatigue at low brightness.

❌ High cost: High quality OLED screens are expensive and are usually used for mid to high end models.

Common OLED screen technologies:

AMOLED (Active Matrix OLED): commonly found in brands such as Samsung and Apple, with more vibrant colors.

LTPO AMOLED: Supports variable refresh rates (such as 1Hz-120Hz) to improve smoothness while reducing power consumption, commonly seen in flagship models.

Micro LED: At the forefront of technology, it has the advantages of OLED and solves the problem of screen burn-in, but currently it is expensive and has not been widely commercialized.

Suitable for:

✅ Users who pursue high contrast and bright colors (like the "transparency" of the screen)

✅ Users who enjoy gaming and high refresh rate experience (OLED screen response speed is fast)

✅ Users who hope their phones are thinner and lighter (with a more streamlined OLED structure)

Representative models: iPhone 15 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, Xiaomi 14 Pro



3、 Refresh rate: an important factor affecting smoothness

In addition to screen type, refresh rate is also a key indicator that affects the screen experience of mobile phones.

60Hz (standard refresh rate): The most basic refresh rate, with stable but not smooth images.

90Hz/120Hz (high refresh rate): smoother operation, suitable for sliding social media, playing games and other scenarios.

144Hz and above: commonly found in gaming phones, the ultra-high refresh rate brings a more ultimate smooth experience.

LTPO variable refresh rate (1Hz-120Hz): The refresh rate can be dynamically adjusted according to the usage scenario, which is energy-saving and smooth. It is standard on flagship models.

Suitable for people with high screen refresh rate:

✅ I enjoy playing games (faster response time, reduced ghosting)

✅ Regularly browse social media (smoother scrolling, better visual experience)

✅ Pursuing power saving and smoothness (LTPO technology is the best choice)

4、 Eye protection mode: reduces screen damage to the eyes

Staring at the screen for a long time can easily cause eye fatigue, blue light damage, and other problems. The following techniques can alleviate them to a certain extent:

DC dimming (reducing low-frequency flicker): More eye friendly than PWM dimming, but may affect color accuracy.

Low blue light mode: reduces high-energy blue light radiation and lowers the risk of eye damage.

• Paper like eye protection mode (such as Honor like natural light screen): simulates the reading effect of paper and is suitable for long-term reading.

If your eyes are sensitive, it is recommended to choose a phone that supports DC dimming or eye protection mode.
