What is the difference between IPS and TFT LCD?

On this issue, please keep this in mind, TFT is the screen material, IPS is the screen technology.

1, The essence of IPS is also TFT.

IPS is just a screen technology under TFT. Even if you have to call IPS a screen, it’s just a kind of TFT screen. The reason why IPS and TFT are called by manufacturers is to make a marketing gimmick.

The TFT screen is equivalent to the main body of the mobile phone screen, and IPS is only the name of a display technology of TFT. Some manufacturers have flickered and make many consumers think that this is two types of screens.

2, The advantages of IPS screen technology

The full name of the TFT is (Thin Film Transistor), which is a thin film transistor. The working mode of the TFT is that each liquid crystal pixel on the liquid crystal display is driven by a thin film transistor integrated therein. In short, the TFT is configured with a semiconductor switching device for each pixel, which can be directly pulsed by a pulse. Each pixel is controlled to form an image.

The full name of IPS is (In-Plane Switching). The superiority of IPS technology is to change the arrangement of liquid crystal molecular particles. The horizontal conversion technology is used to accelerate the deflection speed of liquid crystal molecules, and to ensure the sharpness of the picture when shaking. The superior expressive power eliminates the phenomenon that the traditional liquid crystal display is prone to blur and water-grain diffusion when receiving external pressure and shaking.

Because the liquid crystal molecules rotate in the plane, the “IPS screen” is born with a fairly good viewing angle performance. The four axial directions of the upper and lower sides can achieve a viewing angle of nearly 180 degrees. This is also why the manufacturers advertise IPS has a 180° viewable angle.

Which is better for TFT screen and IPS screen?

There are different types of mobile phone screens, such as TFT, IPS (technology), SLCD, Super AMOLED, etc. Among them, TFT and IPS displays are the most used by manufacturers. In particular, the IPS display is commonly referred to as Super TFT and is a TFT using IPS technology. So which screen is better in TFT and IPS? Here is a brief introduction for everyone.

IPS screen and TFT screen visual display effect: IPS screen, four viewing angles are good, the viewing angle is generally around 178 °; TFT screen, the legendary three missing one screen, is the three directions effect is good, one direction The effect is not strong, It can be said that the IPS screen is better than the TFT. The IPS screen should also be the standard screen for mobile phones and tablets. This is the reason why Apple chooses IPS. However, IPS screens are more expensive than TFTs in purchasing prices, so some manufacturers also I have to shrink the hardware to reduce the cost and choose the TFT screen.The effect of the IPS screen is good. Whether it is Internet access, reading or video, it is better than the ordinary screen effect. Of course, for price reasons, sometimes you have to choose TFT LCD.
