LCD = Light Control, not Light Creation
* Uses liquid crystals to control light with electricity
* Needs a backlight (LED)
* Made of pixels (RGB sub-pixels)
* Controls light → creates color + brightness → images
Quick Features Cue:
* Thin * Energy efficient * Sharp display
If your brain blanks mid-test, just remember:
“Crystals control backlight through RGB pixels.”
LED (Back lit)

OLED

Organic Light Emitting Diode
- Each pixel has its own separate LED that provides the light as a result the panel doesn’t require separate backlight
- Better contrast ratios
- Display can be thinner
- less power intensive leading to longer battery life
- can be made of plastic
Can be rolled, folded, or manipulated to create different shapes and sizes without damaging components
Cons
- Maximum brightness not as bright as LCD ( cant see in bright sun)
- Susceptible to Burn in (same static image)
