OLED vs IPS screen:Smartphone screen

Most of should be in a situation to change your smartphone for a better display. Displays have become the primary criteria for choosing a smartphone. But before buying one considering various specifications like Pixels per inch and resolutions. The primary consideration should be on the type of display you want. It actually determines the nature of the view as well. For that lets take a look at what really they are and how they work.

IPS is a newer technology of LCD’s. It is just a more efficient LCD with higher color accuracy than its predecessor. OLED display have been there since the old LCD displays with minor improvements now. How do they differ? IPS screens are backlited. The LCD in the IPS displays have no ability to light by themselves. So a Backlight on the edges of the screen is used to light the display. Thus the backlight will always have to be turned on inorder to view the display, even in the blacks.

In the case of OLED screens they have self glowing organic Crystals which can glow when initiated. Thus no backlight is necessary. When the screen displays red, the crystals displays red and when black, it turns off. Thus the advantage over IPS screens is that they are capable of producing pure blacks. As they are lighted individually, they consume less power. These panels are thinner than IPS LCD as they do not need filters and backlights and thus enabling thinner smartphones. Coming to IPS displays, they are capable of producing much more accurate colors and pure whites. They are not organic and thus they lasts longer than OLED displays.

But which one is superior? Well, it depends upon the user preference and their taste for the displays. Most of you have seen both IPS and OLED displays in Flagship smartphones.

You may choose IPS displays if;

      ·         You prefer using your phone more than 3 years
      ·         If you are bothered on colour accuracy

You may choose OLED displays if

      ·         You change your smartphone quite often.
      ·         If you prefer more saturated display

      ·         If you need deep blacks and wide viewing angles.
