What are the advantages of standard TFT screens?

As a mainstream solution for liquid crystal display technology, standard TFT (Thin Film Transistor) screens have the following advantages:

1. High response speed

TFT adopts active matrix driving, and each pixel is controlled by an independent transistor, which can quickly respond to signal changes. Compared to passive matrix LCDs (such as STN screens), it has a higher refresh rate and smoother dynamic images, making it suitable for video playback or gaming scenarios.

2. Stable color expression

Each pixel is independently controlled, resulting in more accurate color reproduction and higher brightness and contrast (usually better than traditional LCDs). Although the color vividness may not be as good as OLED, the display effect is clear and stable, suitable for daily use.

3. Mature technology and controllable cost

TFT production technology is mature, with a high yield rate, suitable for large-scale production, and relatively low cost. Therefore, it is widely used in cost sensitive fields such as mid to low end mobile phones, tablets, and car displays.

4. Balance between brightness and energy efficiency

The backlight design allows TFT to have better visibility under strong light, and its power consumption is lower than some early LCD technologies (but weaker than OLED's self luminous characteristics). Suitable for devices that require prolonged screen usage.

5. Long lifespan and high reliability

There is no burn-in issue with OLED screens, and there is less screen aging after long-term use, making it suitable for scenarios such as industrial equipment and medical instruments that require stability.

6. Wide application compatibility

From smartphones to industrial control panels, TFT has strong adaptability, supports multiple resolutions and size requirements, and has good technical compatibility.

Matters needing attention:

Viewing angle limitation: Standard TFT (such as TN panel) has a narrow viewing angle, which may cause color distortion when viewed from the side. Improved technologies such as IPS have compensated for this.

Power consumption comparison: Although it consumes more power than OLED, it belongs to the superior solution in LCD.
