What is the difference between tft lcd and ips lcd, which one is better?

TFT LCD (thin film transistor liquid crystal display) and IPS LCD (in-plane switching liquid crystal display) have significant differences in display technology, each with different advantages and applicable scenarios. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the differences between the two and a discussion on which one is better:

The difference between TFT LCD and IPS LCD

Technical principles

TFT LCD: TFT is a thin film field effect transistor. It is driven by integrating a thin film transistor behind each pixel of the liquid crystal display to achieve active control of each pixel. This approach can significantly improve response time and display quality.

IPS LCD: IPS stands for in-plane switching, which is an LCD panel technology launched by Hitachi in 2001. IPS screens solve the viewing angle and color problems of traditional LCD screens by changing the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules so that they are arranged horizontally.

Display effect

TFT LCD: Although TFT LCD has higher resolution and response speed, it may not be as good as IPS LCD in terms of color vividness and viewing angle. Especially when the viewing angle is large, TFT LCD may experience color deviation and brightness changes.

IPS LCD: IPS LCD is known for its excellent color reproduction and wide viewing angles. It can maintain the accuracy and consistency of picture colors when viewed from all angles, typically with viewing angles up to 178 degrees.

Power consumption

TFT LCD: In some cases, TFT LCD may require more power supply, especially when achieving high brightness and contrast.

IPS LCD: Although IPS LCD has excellent display effects, it may consume more power than some other types of LCD screens. However, with the development of technology, the energy efficiency of IPS screens is also constantly improving.

Price

Generally speaking, the price of IPS LCD screen may be higher than that of traditional TFT LCD screen due to its advanced technology and excellent display effect.

Which one is better?

There is no absolute answer to this question, because which one is better depends on the specific application scenario and needs.

If you're looking for ultimate color reproduction and wide viewing angles: IPS LCD screens are a better choice. It provides consistent and accurate color performance at all angles, making it ideal for use in professional design, photography, film and television production, and more.

If you are price-sensitive and don’t need extreme color and viewing angle performance: TFT LCD screens are also a good choice. It has a high cost performance and is suitable for general office, study, entertainment and other scenarios.

To sum up, TFT LCD and IPS LCD each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Which one is better depends on the specific application scenarios and needs.
