Once is not customary, honor to the younger of the two. OLED stands for “Organic Light Emitting Diode”. This type of screen for iPhone has the particularity of not using a backlight, unlike LCD screens. In fact, each of the pixels on the OLED screen produces its own light. As for the brightness of the OLED-type iPhone screen, it is also emitted and controlled for each pixel.
Translation? Blacks are more intense and whites more vivid than on an LCD screen. As for the images, there is no photo: on the iPhone OLED screen, they offer more vivid colors and better contrast.
I am talking to you about an OLED iPhone screen today but, make no mistake about it, Apple has already started using this type of technology in these smartphones for quite a few years. It was the iPhone X that paved the way: Apple had also used OLED screens for the very first time. Even if the apple brand was not the first to draw on the OLED screen market, (Samsung is one of the pioneers) but it has made up for it by releasing several new iPhones.
Let’s go back to the origins. In the early days of the popularization of OLED screens, manufacturers (Apple and others) encountered small inconveniences related to brightness or color rendering. But that was before. Today, technological advances have been so rapid that these problems are a thing of the past. To come back to the famous pixels of OLED screens, they are in fact organic matter. As soon as the iPhone is plugged in, the pixels emit light. At this point, you have to tell yourself that OLED is the ideal screen. Maybe, but it still has a few flaws that we will talk about later. For now, let’s take a look at iPhone Screen Wholesale.
What is the iPhone LCD screen?
LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. The particularity of this screen is that it has a permanent backlight. In fact, a panel the size of the screen produces a white light that illuminates the screen.
LCD screens, like those used in the iPhones 8 and 8 Plus, have a backlight. To tell the truth, the LCD has not democratized with the smartphone. This device was the technology that dominated the flat panel display market for almost two decades. But the picture is not completely rosy: keeping the backlight on all the time requires a lot of energy. This is one of the reasons why these iPhone screens are so power hungry.
Which iPhones have OLED and LCD screens?
For a long time now, the apple brand has been using OLED screens for the Apple Watch. It wasn’t until 2017 that the first iPhone with an OLED screen came out. Do you want to know who is the lucky one? This is the iPhone X. It is the pioneer of the series of iPhones equipped with OLED screens.
And to our delight, Apple immediately took the screen resolution quality of the iPhone X to the next level with the arrival of Super Retina (or XDR) technology. As of this writing, there are 5 iPhone models that feature an OLED display ( iPhone X , iPhone XS , iPhone XS Max , iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max .) As for the LCD, it is not left out. One of Apple’s flagship models, the iPhone 11 , is equipped with it.
What are the advantages of iPhone LCD screens?
They do not tire the eyes
The backlight of the iPhone LCD screen allows light to be emitted by refraction. Add to that the low level of color saturation and you will know why the display on the iPhone LCD screen looks relatively natural. In short, looking at an iPhone LCD screen does not hurt the eyes.
More attractive prices
Second advantage of the iPhone LCD screen, and not the least: the price. Due to the maturity of “Liquid Crystal Display” technology, a large panel of devices use LCD screens today. Whether low-end, mid-range or high-end products, prices for LCD screens are quite low today. Not to mention the fact that, compared to phones with an LCD screen, those that sport an OLED screen are still among the flagships that are bound to be priced higher than products with LCD screens.
Long lifespan and good display in direct sunlight
Why do LCD screens last longer than OLED screens (at least for now)? Quite simply because they contain material which is not organic unlike OLED screens. As for the visibility of the LCD screen in direct sunlight, rejoice, the LCD screens will offer you the necessary visual comfort.
