Dr Pan: Hello, Greg. TN is the abbreviation for Twisted Nematic. The main difference between TN, HTN, STN and FSTN LCD is the view angle. From the definition, the maximum view angle of TN LCD is 90°. Take this TN positive LCD for example. The view angle is 6 o’clock direction and it can be seen very clearly in the 6 o’clock direction and the front side.

When it is a positive and reflective display, it can display without LED backlight; when it is a positive and transmissive/ transflective display, it can’t display without LED backlight, the background color is grey and the letters are black.

When it is a negative and transmissive/ transflective display, it can’t display without LED backlight, the background color is purple-black, different colors from different view angle, and the color of the letters is the color of LED backlight.

By the way, no matter it is a positive or negative display, the background color is affected by the color of LED backlight on some level. That is why the color of LED backlight is usually white.

Theoretically, we can add a blue film to TN negative LCD, it may look like this. Actually, from our experience, no one has done it before since HTN or STN negative LCD with blue background looks better with wider view angle.

TN LCD is the most commonly used since it is the cheapest. The maximum COM is 4, so it can’t display too many segments, and it can’t be used in the high end devices. But it performs very well in the simple display content: calculator and alarm clock.

IPS (in-plane switching) is a screen technology for liquid-crystal displays (LCDs). In IPS, a layer of liquid crystals is sandwiched between two glass surfaces. The liquid crystal molecules are aligned parallel to those surfaces in predetermined directions (in-plane). The molecules are reoriented by an applied electric field, whilst remaining essentially parallel to the surfaces to produce an image. It was designed to solve the strong viewing angle dependence and low-quality color reproduction of the twisted nematic field effect (TN) matrix LCDs prevalent in the late 1980s.

The TN method was the only viable technology for active matrix TFT LCDs in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Early panels showed grayscale inversion from up to down,Vertical Alignment (VA)—that could resolve these weaknesses and were applied to large computer monitor panels.

Shortly thereafter, Hitachi of Japan filed patents to improve this technology. A leader in this field was Katsumi Kondo, who worked at the Hitachi Research Center.thin-film transistor array as a matrix and to avoid undesirable stray fields in between pixels.Super IPS). NEC and Hitachi became early manufacturers of active-matrix addressed LCDs based on the IPS technology. This is a milestone for implementing large-screen LCDs having acceptable visual performance for flat-panel computer monitors and television screens. In 1996, Samsung developed the optical patterning technique that enables multi-domain LCD. Multi-domain and in-plane switching subsequently remain the dominant LCD designs through 2006.

In this case, both linear polarizing filters P and A have their axes of transmission in the same direction. To obtain the 90 degree twisted nematic structure of the LC layer between the two glass plates without an applied electric field (OFF state), the inner surfaces of the glass plates are treated to align the bordering LC molecules at a right angle. This molecular structure is practically the same as in TN LCDs. However, the arrangement of the electrodes e1 and e2 is different. Because they are in the same plane and on a single glass plate, they generate an electric field essentially parallel to this plate. The diagram is not to scale: the LC layer is only a few micrometers thick and so is very small compared with the distance between the electrodes.

In practice, other schemes of implementation exist with a different structure of the LC molecules – for example without any twist in the OFF state. As both electrodes are on the same substrate, they take more space than TN matrix electrodes. This also reduces contrast and brightness.

Unlike TN LCDs, IPS panels do not lighten or show tailing when touched. This is important for touch-screen devices, such as smartphones and tablet computers.

Toward the end of 2010 Samsung Electronics introduced Super PLS (Plane-to-Line Switching) with the intent of providing an alternative to the popular IPS technology which is primarily manufactured by LG Display. It is an "IPS-type" panel technology, and is very similar in performance features, specs and characteristics to LG Display"s offering. Samsung adopted PLS panels instead of AMOLED panels, because in the past AMOLED panels had difficulties in realizing full HD resolution on mobile devices. PLS technology was Samsung"s wide-viewing angle LCD technology, similar to LG Display"s IPS technology.

In 2012 AU Optronics began investment in their own IPS-type technology, dubbed AHVA. This should not be confused with their long standing AMVA technology (which is a VA-type technology). Performance and specs remained very similar to LG Display"s IPS and Samsung"s PLS offerings. The first 144 Hz compatible IPS-type panels were produced in late 2014 (used first in early 2015) by AUO, beating Samsung and LG Display to providing high refresh rate IPS-type panels.

The display on a laptop is an important output device, but it can also be a useful input device as well. In this video, you’ll learn about LCD display types, backlights, Wi-Fi antennas, digitizers, and more.

Many of the laptops we use today have an LCD display. This is a liquid crystal display where there are a series of liquid crystals associated with color filters, and there is a backlight or light source behind all of that shines through to give us the image that’s on our screen. From a laptop perspective, the advantages of an LCD display is that they are lightweight and use very little power, and they’re relatively inexpensive to make, keeping the cost of the laptop down.

There are some disadvantages with LCD displays. One is that this light source in the back has to shine through to provide the color, which means getting a true black can be quite difficult on an LCD display. We might also have different kinds of backlights on our displays. The light source may be fluorescent, it may be LED, or may be some other type of light. If this backlight was to fail, you could see that it’s part of the display itself, making it relatively difficult to be able to repair or replace.

There are three different technologies of liquid crystal displays that you need to be aware of. One is the TN LCD, this is the Twisted Nematic LCD, which gives us very good response times. If you’re a gamer or you’re using some application that has fast moving graphics, this may be the display type for you. Unfortunately, these displays often have very bad viewing angles, which means once you get off to the side of the display, you’ll notice there’s an inversion of the color. If you want the best possible view of a TN LCD, you need to be looking directly at the display.

If you’re looking for the best possible color representation on an LCD display, you’ll want to use an IPS LCD. The IPS stands for In Plane Switching. This gives you very good color representation, which is great for using graphics or doing some type of desktop publishing. But these are slightly more expensive than a TN. So that extra color representation comes at a bit of a cost.

If you like something that’s in the middle between TN and IPS, you may want a vertical alignment LCD or a VA display. This has good color representation, but you’ll find the response times are a bit slower than a twisted nomadic LCD. If you have a newer device, you may be using an OLED display. The OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode. And it doesn’t have a backlight. Instead, this organic material emits light when you provide it with a current. Because there’s no backlight and no liquid crystals, these are very thin displays. And there’s no glass that you would need on the front of the display to protect it.

The real key is that organic material that’s able to create its own light when you provide it with power. And that’s what allows these displays to be very light and very thin. You’ll find them on tablets, phones, and smart devices, not only because they provide such great color representation, but because they’re so light and so easy to carry.

One aspect of our laptop displays that we don’t often think about is how they’re used on wireless networks. When you open the laptop, your display is the highest component in that system. So it’s a perfect place to run your wireless antennas. If you’re using 802.11, Bluetooth, or some other type of wireless networking, then you probably have an antenna that runs to the top of your laptop display. This creates some challenges when you are replacing the display, because you not only have to remember to connect all of your video components, you have to remember to connect all of these antenna wires as well.

Here’s a picture of a display. This one does look a bit damaged. You can see the primary connection that we use for the video signal. But coming out of the other side of the display is a white and a black wire that’s used for 802.11. You need to take care when replacing this display that you’re following the same path that the previous wires took, so that you could connect all of those wireless antennas to the appropriate components on the system board. This is what it looks like when everything is in place. You can see some antenna wires coming out of the system board. They’re wrapping around the system. And these appear to wrap all the way into the top of this particular laptop.

If we look closely, we can see wires that are used for the 802.11 network. There are some additional wires also at the top of this display. These are the wires that are used to bring the signal from the audio and video associated with the webcam. Many laptops these days have webcams integrated into the laptop itself. That’s that small little hole at the top for the camera and a tiny little right next to it for the microphone. This can obviously be used for video capture, but it’s also used for meetings and video conference calls. This makes it easy when you need to be on a Zoom call. You can simply open your laptop display, and the camera built into the display will be able to show you on the call.

Here’s a better shot from this laptop, which clearly shows that this is the webcam that’s integrated into the laptop display. And you can see there are holes also for the microphone in the display as well. We mentioned earlier that a liquid crystal display needs some type of light behind the system to shine through so that we’re able to see the images on the screen. If you’re working with an older laptop, this might be a fluorescent type of light, specifically a CCFL or Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp. These require a bit more power than the LED lights that we tend to use today. And you’ll find the LED back lights are also a bit thinner, taking up a lot less space on your laptop computer.

If you’re working with an older laptop or you need to replace the display on an older laptop, you may find that the backlight that it’s using is a CCFL backlight. Newer LCD displays might use LED lights instead of using a fluorescent lamp. These LED lights may be around the edge of the display or they might be in a matrix, such as the one that’s seen here. These have become so common that instead of people referring to this as an LCD, they often refer to it as an LED display. What they really mean, of course, is an LED backlit LCD.

If you were to pull the front off of a display that has LED backlights, you might see the matrix behind it looking like this. These are strips of LED lights. And you can see each one of these LED lights is in a very large matrix behind the display. The display is smart enough to recognize what parts of the display should be lighter or darker and will adjust the lighting depending on what you’re viewing on the screen.

One way to tell if your backlight has failed is to shine a flashlight directly at the screen. If you’re able to make out some of the information on the screen, then it’s very possible that the problem is not with the display, but with the backlight behind the display. If this is a CCFL backlight, you may just need to replace the inverters, and you’d be able to restore the backlight. On some systems you may have to replace the entire display. You’ll have to check with the documentation for your laptop to see what applies for your particular model.

If you’re using a hybrid device, like this one that has a keyboard and a tablet type display, you may be able to use a very high resolution input with this stylus. That stylus allows you to directly draw on the screen. And whatever you’re pushing on the screen is converted into digital signals in the display. We’re able to provide that conversion because inside of this display is a digitizer that converts that analog input onto the display into digital signals that the computer can use.

So, why would anyone ever buy a TN panel? For starters, they’re cheap. They don’t cost a lot to produce, so they’re often used in the most budget-friendly options. If you don’t value color reproduction or need excellent viewing angles, a TN panel might be fine for your office or study.

TN panels also have the lowest input lag—typically around one millisecond. They can also handle high refresh rates of up to 240 Hz. This makes them an attractive option for competitive multiplayer games—especially eSports, where every split-second counts.

IPS technology was developed to improve upon the limitations of TN panels—most notably, the poor color reproduction and limited viewing angles. As a result, IPS panels are much better than TNs in both of these areas.

In particular, IPS panels have vastly superior viewing angles than TNs. This means you can view IPS panels from extreme angles and still get accurate color reproduction. Unlike TNs, you’ll notice very little shift in color when you view one from a less-than-ideal perspective.

IPS panels are also known for their relatively good black reproduction, which helps eliminate the “washed out” look you get with TN panels. However, IPS panels fall short of the excellent contrast ratios you’ll find on VAs.

While high refresh rates were typically reserved for TNs, more manufacturers are producing IPS panels with refresh rates of 240 Hz. For example, the 27-inch 1080p ASUS VG279QM uses an IPS panel and supports 280 Hz.

Previously, TNs exhibited less input lag than any other panel, but IPS technology has finally caught up. In June 2019, LG announced its new Nano IPS UltraGear monitors with a response time of one millisecond.

Despite the gap being closed, you’ll still pay more for an IPS panel with such a low response time than you would for a TN with similar specs. If you’re on a budget, expect a response time of around four milliseconds for a good IPS monitor.

One last thing to be aware of with IPS panels is a phenomenon called “IPS glow.” It’s when you see the display’s backlight shining through it at more extreme viewing angles. It’s not a huge problem unless you view the panel from the side, but it’s something to keep in mind.

VA panels are something of a compromise between TN and IPS. They offer the best contrast ratios, which is why TV manufacturers use them extensively. While an IPS monitor typically has a contrast ratio of 1000:1, it’s not unusual to see 3000:1 or 6000:1 in a comparable VA panel.

In terms of viewing angles, VAs can’t quite match the performance of IPS panels. Screen brightness, in particular, can vary based on the angle from which you’re viewing, but you won’t get the “IPS glow.”

VAs have slower response times than TNs and the newer Nano IPS panels with their one-millisecond response rates. You can find VA monitors with high refresh rates (240 Hz), but the latency can result in more ghosting and motion blur. For this reason, competitive gamers should avoid VA.

Compared to TNs, VA panels do offer much better color reproduction and typically hit the full sRGB spectrum, even on lower-end models. If you’re willing to spend a bit more, Samsung’s Quantum Dot SVA panels can hit 125 percent sRGB coverage.

When compared to CRT monitors, all LCD panels suffer from some form of latency issue. This was a real problem when TN panels first appeared, and it’s plagued IPS and VA monitors for years. But technology has moved on, and while many of these issues have been improved, they haven’t been eliminated entirely.

LCD panels are also susceptible to dead or stuck pixels. Different manufacturers and jurisdictions have different policies and consumer laws covering dead pixels. If you’re a perfectionist, check the manufacturer’s dead-pixel policy before you buy. Some will replace a monitor with a single dead pixel for free, while others require a minimum number.

Office or study use: Your budget should be your primary concern here. VA is the do-it-all panel, with superior viewing angles to TN, but either would do the trick. You can save some money because you don’t need high refresh rates or ultra-low latency. They’re still nice, though. You’ll see a noticeable difference in smoothness just when moving the Windows cursor on a monitor with a 144 versus 60 Hz refresh rate.

Photo and video editors/Digital artists: IPS panels are still generally favored for their ability to display a wide gamut of colors. It’s not unusual to find VA panels that also cover a wide gamut (125 percent sRGB, and over 90 percent DCI-P3), but they tend to exhibit more motion blur during fast-paced action than IPS panels. If you’re serious about color accuracy, you’ll need to properly calibrate your monitor.

Programmers who mount monitors vertically: You might think TN panels are great for programmers, but that’s not necessarily the case. TN panels have particularly bad viewing angles on the vertical axis. If you mount your monitor in portrait mode (as many programmers and mobile developers do), you’ll get the worst possible viewing angles from a TN panel. For the best possible viewing angles in this scenario, invest in an IPS display.

Competitive online gamers: There’s no question TN panels are still favored in the eSports world. Even the cheapest models have fast response times and support for high refresh rates. For 1080p gaming, a 24-inch will do just fine, or you could opt for a 1440p, 27-inch model without breaking the bank. You might want to go for an IPS panel as more low-latency models hit the market, but expect to pay more.

Non-competitive, high-end PC gamers: For a rich, immersive image that pops, a VA panel will provide a higher contrast ratio than IPS or TN. For deep blacks and a sharp, contrasting image, VA is the winner. If you’re okay with sacrificing some contrast, you can go the IPS route. However, we’d recommend avoiding TN altogether unless you play competitively.

If you can, check out the monitor you’re interested in in-person before you buy it. You can perform some simple ghosting and motion blur tests by grabbing a window with the mouse and moving it rapidly around the screen. You can also test the brightness, watch some videos, and play with the onscreen display to get a feel for it.

In this guide, we’ll go over the differences between the most common monitor panels. We’ve compared IPS panels, TN panels, and VA panels to help give you more insight on your upcoming purchase.

However, the average consumer is clueless on the LCD panel technology used in their LCD monitor. A monitor’s panel type is a crucial feature that dictates how it performs as well as the kind of tasks it is best suited to accomplish. Therefore, it is important to understand panel technology so that you can be sure to choose the appropriate monitor for your gaming needs.

And, it is important for gamers to become familiar with these various panel technologies so that they can understand the variety of marketing buzzwords that companies use to describe the different LCD panel monitors on the market.

For instance, if you have $150 or less to spend, you’ll likely be forced to choose a TN panel. However, if you have more to spend, that doesn’t necessarily mean you will want to avoid a TN panel monitor, it just means that you will have more options.

This is an important question because the type of usage your monitor will see will be a big determining factor in which type of panel you can get. If you are going to use your monitor solely for competitive gaming—I’m talking CS:GO, LoL, COD, Dota 2, etc.—then a TN panel with a high refresh rate and low response time will be your best bet.

On the other hand, if you are more of a casual gamer, or you are planning on doing a lot of graphic design work on your monitor, you might want to look into a VA panel or an IPS panel. These panels don’t quite perform on the same level as a TN panel (in terms of response rate) and they cost a lot more for the same refresh rate. However, their picture quality is much better than TN panels and therefore, they are better-suited for graphics design work.

And, for that, a TN panel is your best bet as they offer lower response rates and higher refresh rates (at least, for the price you pay) than IPS or VA panels.

On the other hand, if you’re not playing super competitive games and you really enjoy the visual aspect of gaming, you’d be better off going with a VA or IPS panel as they offer better technology for displaying richer and more detailed visuals.

Some display types are appropriate for gaming, while others are best suited for graphics design. Other monitors are good for gamers who want the best visuals, while a different set of monitor panels work better for competitive gamers who need the most performance possible.

If you are looking at a monitor and it doesn’t clearly state what kind of panel it is, it’s probably safe to assume it’s a TN panel. What I mean by this is that, in most cases, for IPS panels and VA panels, the monitor manufacturer will include the panel type in the name of the monitor in an effort to make them stand out.

As I mentioned above, TN Panels owe their popularity to low manufacturing costs.However, they are also known for being able to deliver much higher response rates than IPS or VA panels. However, they are also known for being able to deliver much higher response rates than IPS or VA panels.

Because of their affordability, Twisted Nematic Displays with higher refresh rates (a feature you will pay more for) are more readily available than competing panels with high refresh rates.

The viewing angles on a TN panel are touted to be 160 degrees vertical and 170 degrees horizontal: these angles are considerably lower than the viewing angles presented by other panel technologies

Because of these problems, the consistency and color accuracy on a TN panel will suffer in comparison to IPS and VA panels, which, ultimately, makes this panel type less ideal for color-critical work such as photography and design, or even for gamers who want the best visuals possible.

The most notable selling point of In-Plane Switching panels is their consistency, improved viewing angles, and superior color accuracy when compared to other LCD technologies. Every color shade retains its unique identity and distinctiveness regardless of its position on the monitor.

One significant glitch of IPS displays is a glow or sheen on the monitor when viewing dark content. This glitch becomes more noticeable when you are viewing the monitor from wider angles.

Perhaps the greatest strength of a VA panel is its ability to block light from the backlight when it isn’t wanted. This ability results in higher contrast ratios and deeper blacks which are several times better than that of the other LCD technologies discussed in this guide.

As power users already understand, one problem with LCD monitors is light from the backlight. When an LCD monitor wants to display black, the color filter will be positioned in such a manner that very little light from the backlight will seep through. While they try to do a reasonable job, their filters aren’t always perfect, thus, incapable of rendering the blacks deep as they should be.

It is quite difficult to state definitively what LCD monitor is better in the battle of TN vs IPS. This is because both TN LCD displays and IPS LCD displays have a share of advantages and disadvantages.

The quick responsiveness of TN panels makes them suitable for competitive gamers who rely on every split-second to achieve victory. (Though there is a lot of debate surrounding this considering that some believe that the average human brain can just compute about 25 frames per second.) The response time of most TN Panels, save for the high-end and very exceptional ones, is between 2ms and 5ms. This quick response rate is why gamers love TN Panels, as they are perfect for fast-paced games.

IPS Panels, on the other hand, feature a rather sluggish response time compared with TN panels. But the good news is that IPS technology is improving with each new generation of monitors.

IPS Panels owe their popularity to superior viewing angles. They are also not susceptible to color washout when viewing at an angle, which is a problem that is very common with traditional TN panels.

TN panels suffer from limited viewing angles, especially when looking from a vertical position. Colors tend to shift if viewed from an off-perpendicular position. When viewing TN panels from vertical positions, colors will change so much that they’ll invert past a certain angle.

The reason is that higher resolution monitors typically cost more and, so, if you’re going to pay all of that money for an ultra high definition monitor, you might as well get the panel that is best suited for displaying high-end visuals.

Of course, if you want a balance between higher resolutions and lower response rates, you might be better off sacrificing some in the visual department and going with a TN panel to get a monitor with a better response rate.

Both VA and IPS panels are commonly used in LED-backlit TVs today. Though they are both Liquid Crystal Display types, there are vast differences between their performances. The differences touch on contrast, viewing angle, response time, and black uniformity.

VA panels, on the other hand, were built specifically to address the deficiencies in both TN Panels and IPS panels. Their response time is slightly faster than the response time of IPS panels yet considerably lower than the response time of TN panels.

There have been improvements on TN panels to make them more suitable for color-critical work such as photo editing, but even with the said improvements, TN panels are still far from ideal when it comes to these types of tasks.

From a visual standpoint, VA panels are better than TN panels as they are capable of 8-bit color depth as well as wider viewing angles. They also feature better black uniformity and high contrast ratios as compared to TN panels.

In my opinion, though, the choice between a TN panel and VA panel is somewhat similar to the choice between a TN panel and an IPS panel: choose an IPS panel if you are mostly into competitive gaming and pick a VA panel if you want better visuals.

If you are a competitive gamer, nothing will serve you better than a TN panel. TN panels might have weaker images, low contrast, and limited viewing angles, but they offer very fast response times.

VA panels are the compromise panel. They offer accurate colors and wide viewing angles, almost comparable to IPS panels. Their response time is a little slower than that of TN panels, but also a little faster than IPS panels. So, if you want to get a monitor that brings balance to what a TN panel and IPS panel bring, VA panels are the way to go.

At the end of the day, TN panels are probably the most popular option for serious gamers. They are more affordable and perform better in competitive scenarios.
