What types of LCD displays are there?

LCD displays (Liquid Crystal Display) can be classified according to many different standards. Here are some common classifications and their types:

Classified by screen size:
Small screen LCD display: usually used in portable devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, etc.

Large-screen LCD monitors: usually used in TVs, computer monitors, etc. in homes and offices.

Classified according to field of use:

TV screen: With the popularity of digital TV, LCD screens have gradually replaced traditional CRT monitors and become the mainstream TV screen type.

Computer display screen: LCD liquid crystal screen is also widely used in computer display screens, replacing the CRT monitors of the past.

Classified according to response speed:

Fast response LCD monitor: This type of monitor has a fast response speed and can adapt to high-speed image and video display, such as game consoles, professional computer monitors, etc.

Classified by screen resolution:

Low-resolution LCD monitor: This type of monitor has a lower screen resolution and is usually used in small-screen portable devices or large-screen low-end products.

Classification according to perspective:

Narrow viewing angle LCD monitor: This type of monitor has a small viewing angle and can only provide users with a better viewing experience when looking directly at the screen.

Classification according to reflectivity:

High reflectivity LCD display: This type of display has a high reflectivity and is suitable for use outdoors or in strong light environments.

Classification according to display technology:

TN-LCD (Twisted Nematic) display: This is the most common type of LCD and is mainly used for low-cost and low-performance display applications.

STN-LCD (Super Twisted Nematic) display: Compared with TN-LCD, it provides higher contrast and color depth.

DSTN-LCD (Double Super Twisted Nematic) display: further improves contrast and color depth, but costs more.

TFT-LCD (Thin Film Transistor) display: This is the most advanced type of LCD, providing high definition, high color saturation and fast response time, and is widely used in computer monitors, televisions and high-end mobile devices.

Classification according to backlight type:

Transmissive LCD display: uses a backlight (such as CCFL or LED) to illuminate the liquid crystal layer so that the image can be displayed on the screen.

Reflective LCD display: uses external light sources (such as natural light or ambient light) for reflection to display images without a backlight, and is suitable for low power consumption and outdoor environments.

Please note that the above classifications are not absolute, as some LCD displays may have multiple characteristics or classification methods at the same time. When selecting an LCD display, comprehensive considerations need to be made based on specific application requirements and environmental conditions.
