Comparison of advantages and disadvantages of OLED and LCD

1. Contrast

The OLED screen benefits from its own luminous advantage, and the display black is more extreme, coupled with the characteristics of color gamut and wide viewing angle; while the LCD itself does not emit light, and the screen is illuminated by the LED lights behind it, and the screen can achieve On and off.

2. Afterglow, power consumption

Since OLED eliminates the backlight group structure of LCD, and the pixels do not emit light at all when displaying black, OLED is more power-saving under the same conditions of use. In addition, due to the self-illumination characteristics, the afterglow of the OLED screen without backlight is smaller, and it is generally not so dazzling under the same brightness.

3. Anti-shock and low temperature resistance

Compared with LCD, OLED screen is a non-vacuum all-solid-state component, so OLED is more excellent in anti-shock and low-temperature resistance (it can still work normally at minus 40 degrees).

4. Burn-in and service life issues

In this regard, LCD is better than OLED. The LCD screen itself does not emit light, and the characteristics of low power consumption and simple control make its service life higher than that of OLED. As a self-luminous screen, the OLED screen has a service life and screen burn-in caused by screen aging, which also seriously limits its widespread use.

It can be said that each has advantages and disadvantages. From the perspective of protecting eyesight, from a macro perspective, OLED screens are still better than LCD screens, otherwise it will not be able to attract major brand manufacturers to compete for use.

Although there are also finer divisions in LCD screens (TN panel, VA panel, IPS panel), OLED has unique advantages in performance, and it is used for a more perfect visual experience on mobile phone screens, making it gradually become the trend of mobile phone screens.
