Mobile Display Types Flashcards
Mobile Consumption Devices
3
- Smartphones or Tablets
- Consume information and not produce information
- Typically have touchscreens
Touchscreens
2 Types (8 answers)
- Capacitive touch screen
- Any touchscreen that works by seeing the distortion in an electrostatic
field
- Distortion is mesured using X/Y coordinate to machine in place of mouse pointer
- Single tactile input (One touch at a time) - Multi-touch
- Can process two or more contact points simultaneously
- Allows you to use two or more fingers
- Standard among most tablets or mobile devices
LCD
Liquid-Crystal Display
- Uses liquid crystal where the properties can change with the application
of voltage
LED (Back lit)
5
Light Emitting Diode
- Newer form of light that uses direct current (DC)
- Still going to use TN, IPS, or VA
- Instead of using CCFL to backlight you will use LED powered by DC
- Uses less power leading to longer battery life and better performance
OLED
9
Organic Light Emitting Diode
- Each pixel has its own separate LED that provides the light
- Panel doesn’t require separate backlight
- Better contrast ratios
- Display can be thinner
- less power intensive leading to longer battery life
- can be made of plastic
Can be folded, rolled, or manipulated to create different shapes and sizes without damaging components
Cons
- Maximum brightness not as bright as LCD ( cant see in bright sun)
- Susceptible to Burn in (same static image)
Pixel
2
- Picture Element
- Individual point on a screen inside of a display
TFT
6 Types
Thin-film Transistor
- referred to as an LCD panel
- All require backlight
1. Twisted Nematic (TN)
2. In-Plane Switching (IPS)
3. Vertical Alignment (VA)
Twisted Nematic (TN)
6
- Contains crystals that twist or untwist in response to the voltage being
applied or removed - Twist
- Earliest type of TFT technology
- Found in Budget laptops, tablet, and smart phones
- Supports fast response times
- less motion blur or ghosting when used with something that has a high frame rate
In-Plane Switching (IPS)
5
- Uses crystals that rotate to be able to deliver color
- Rotate
- Better color reproduction at a wider range of viewing angles
- Most IPS panels can support 178 degrees horizontal and vertical viewing angles (Almost view on the side
- Response times close to TN
Vertical Alignment (VA)
6
- Crystals are tilted to be able to deliver color
- Tilt
- Contrast ratio 2-3x better than IPS
- Really dark darks and really light lights
- viewing angles not as good as IPS and
- response times are slower than IPS and TN (will get motion blur or ghosting when viewing fast images on display
Contrast Ratio
1
The ratio between the brightest white and the darkest black a display can produce
Back lights
- CCFL
- Used to light up display panel
Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL)
3
- Lamp that sits behind the display and lights up the liquid crystal display to show the colors and images properly on the screen
- If burns out or stops working you wont be able to see things on screen without back light
- Requires AC voltages (Inverter is installed to convert DC to AC)
