Advantages & Comparisons

Midas Components

TFT

Unlike standard monochrome displays, TFT displays allow the user to create complex images for a better user experience. IPS TFT displays provide wide viewing angles (all-round), higher contrast, faster response time, and the truest colour reproduction. TFT products also provide the user with increased interfacing possibilities, with a range of touch options available.

LCD

The main benefit to an LCD display is the cost-effectiveness. As more complex display technologies have developed, LCD displays have become much cheaper over time. If the user wants to display some basic information or graphics, whilst keeping costs down, LCD displays may provide the ideal solution.

OLED

This technology provides better colour reproduction, image quality, colour gamut, whilst using less power than standard LCD technology. Due to their high performance, OLEDs are found in many high-end applications, such as TVs and mobile phones.

MIP

Traditional graphic display module solutions include bi-stable, cholesteric, and STN technologies. These present a variety of design and performance issues, including high driving voltages, slow response time, image retention, complicated interfaces, and others. As the MIP display technology retains information once it is written, it allows design of products with ultra-low power consumption and long battery life. It also delivers higher resolution, shock and temperature tolerance than e-paper (electronic paper) displays.

E-Paper

The bi-stable technology features make E-Paper perfect for low-power applications, such as signage, due to not needing to be changed regularly, which will save costs on power consumption whilst the display is turned off. These displays also have excellent all-round viewing angles and are ultra-thin.
