Counterclockwise: OLED screens challenge old-fashioned LCDs

02 December 2017
Growth has been relatively slow and it could be due to lack of suppliers - not preferences - that is holding it back.

Got to love how they cherry pick what information they give.

Not all LCD screen are like what they say.
Igzo ips one can be almost identical to OLED ( beside contrast that i give it to oled they win hand down ) and even use less energy than oled.

My essential phone screen use much less than a S8 by example for similar size of screen.

PS: those igzo ips screen can also do 120 refresh rate something not possible on oled for now at least.

PS*: also no burn it on LCD.

                      Oled is dead, the future is microled.

                      OLED is a defective technology, when it cheapens the microled, it will disappear like plasma.

                          LCD is much better than OLED. OLED's disadvantages far outweigh it's own advantages.

                            OLED is much better than LCD from a technological perspective.
                            However, the worst part about it is the O.
                            The fact that we use Organic sourced diodes means we can't have them as accurate, as bright, as responsive, as efficient, and as long-lasting as possible.

                            So until we start using Synthetic diodes (SLED? mLED?), the industry will stay as it is.
                            And we do have Synthetics, however, they are extremely difficult to manufacture, are only produced in small quantities and extremely expensive. Once we crack the quantity problem, the other two issues should resolve themselves in time. And after that, its all about mass-production and marketing.

                            I feel like the thing that will make all of these obsolete is holograms.
                            Not primitive two-dimensional, or one sided holograms... but something akin to Star Wars.
                            People can wear two wrist/bracelets on each hand, and shine a "touch-air" hologram to navigate a UI, play hologram videos, and interact with virtual games in the palm of their two hands. Although, I think such a technology is at least 30 years out if I had to guess.

                                    Real life usage is the best thing to do, I did.
                                    My Asus Zenfone Max has a 720p IPS LCD display, and I compared it to my friend's Galaxy J3 2016, which also has 720p display but Super AMOLED instead.
                                    I do like his screen a bit more, but my Zenfone Max is no slouch, like I don't feel the need to actually replace it.
                                    But when I inspected the two screens closely, I can tell that my Zenfone Max has better screen clarity than the J3 2016. It's like something is slightly blurred out on the J3 2016's screen while on my Zenfone Max, it just looks a bit pixellated at the closest inspection, but everything is clear and can be read nicely. Oh, and it looks sharper at a normal viewing distance, too.

                                    Diamond PenTile is just no match to RGB in terms of overall picture clarity. A 2K Diamond PenTile OLED is just as sharp as 1080p RGB IPS LCD, if not any better.
