The display is an essential part of devices such as computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone. It is hard to imagine using them without a display, then they would be completely useless. In the case of a touch matrix, a TFT-type display with a structure based on thin-film transistors is used. Its characteristic feature is its dual functionality, as it is both an input and output device, and thus serves to enter and display information. It is currently the most frequently used technology in modern devices, although one must be aware that OLED is currently the leading technology. Our offer includes TFT LCD displays, which work very well together with Raspberry PI and Arduino, as well as other development platforms. In addition, we have a wide selection of LED IPS displays, which are also often on board many monitors available on the market. When to choose a TFT LCD display and when to choose a LED IPS display?

TFT displays - high image quality and low energy consumption
TFT displays are based on LCD technology and enable the display of high-resolution images with strong contrast and clear colors . TFT LCD technology pioneered by IBM is mainly used in computer monitors, laptops, tablets, portable media players, and smartphones. The principle of TFT technology is to control the brightness of red, green and blue pixels using thin film transistors, one for each pixel. The pixels themselves do not produce light - the TFT display uses a built-in matrix illumination system using LED diodes.
TFT or IPS - which display to choose?
TFT / IPS - IPS displays are structurally based on TFT LCD displays. TFT displays, thanks to the use of thin-film transistor technology, enable the emission of images in even better quality than classic LCD displays . In turn, IPS LCD displays are characterized by more faithful color reproduction and very good image visibility at a wider viewing angle . IPS LCD technology is used in high-performance PCs, tablets and smartphones. If you need a laptop or an external monitor for work purposes, watching films and photos, playing games and video calls, and uploading graphic files, then a display with an IPS matrix will definitely be a very good solution for you, enabling faithful color reproduction and good image visibility at a completely different viewing angle.
TFT and IPS LCD displays - FAQ
It's not just a matter of taste. IPS displays usually have better color clarity than TFT displays, as well as a better crystal orientation arrangement. While TFT LCD display consumes about 15% more power compared to IPS LCD, IPS display has lower transmittance, which forces it to consume more by backlighting.
An LED display is a flat panel with an array of LEDs that shine like pixels. They are bright enough to be used in the sun - you can find them, for example, among shop windows or billboards. Small LED segment displays display alphanumeric strings.
The abbreviation TFT comes from the English thin-film-transistor . The TFT LCD display is a type of liquid crystal display that uses thin-film transistor technology. They improve addressability and image contrast. TFT LCD has an active matrix. He is known for smartphones.
IPS stands for in-plane switching , a type of LED panel technology. IPS panels feature amazing colors and viewing angles. An IPS display will provide better image quality than an LED monitor, but it requires more power to maintain on-screen performance.
