OLED and TFT LCD screen who is better?

August 2, 2024

As experts in the touch screen industry, we are well aware of the differences between the two major OLED and TFT LCD screen technology. These two screen technologies have their own characteristics, which will be in the future display market, especially industrial display computers and touch screen applications to occupy a dominant position? Let us come together to understand their advantages and disadvantages.

Self-illuminated vs. backlighting
OLED LCD screen in each pixel can be their own light-emitting, while the TFT LCD screen is dependent on external backlighting. This makes OLED better in color saturation, contrast and black effect, OLED screen can also automatically adjust the brightness according to the content of the display, in the display of dark-colored screen with lower energy consumption, very suitable for industrial display computer applications.

Complex Manufacturing vs. Mature Processes
OLED panels require the use of organic materials, the manufacturing process is relatively complex. TFT panels use inorganic materials, the manufacturing process is more mature and stable. This also creates the OLED panel cost is generally higher than the TFT panel, for the touch screen manufacturers cost control is the key.

Application scenarios have their own focus
OLED LCD screen more used in high-end cell phones, TVs and other consumer electronics products, with its excellent visual effect and low power consumption characteristics of the advantage. TFT is more suitable for computer monitors, industrial control and other fields, with a mature manufacturing process to occupy a place.

"Keywords" for future development
With the continuous optimization of the manufacturing process, the cost of OLED panels is expected to further decline. Coupled with its advantages in picture quality and energy consumption, OLED is expected to become the mainstream of future display technology, including industrial display computers and touch screen applications. But TFT with its mature and stable characteristics, in some professional applications will continue to play an important role.

As a leading company in the field of touch screen, we will continue to focus on industry trends, to provide customers with high-quality OLED and TFT LCD touch screen solutions.
