In terms of physical properties, LCD technology is not well-suited for curved surfaces. Unlike OLEDs, which can be bent or even folded to a great extent, most curved displays currently on the market have fixed curvature. These displays may suffer from image distortion and color shifting, and they tend to be more expensive. Overall, curved LCDs are likely to be a costly transitional product for consumers, representing a compromise in current technological development.
**Why is OLED bendable?**
OLED technology has the unique advantage of being flexible. Many experts believe that OLED TVs could become the next big thing in the television industry, surpassing both LCD and plasma TVs. However, recent developments show that companies are also working on making LCDs more flexible. A Japanese consortium of 13 companies and institutions is developing ultra-thin, flexible liquid crystal displays by using plastic films instead of traditional glass substrates, making them softer and thinner.
The reason OLEDs can be bent lies in their structure. The organic film used in OLEDs is extremely thin—only 1,000 to 1,500 angstroms (0.10 to 0.15 micrometers) thick. After packaging with a desiccant, the entire display panel is less than 200 micrometers (0.2mm) thick, making it lightweight and compact. Additionally, OLEDs can be manufactured on various flexible substrates like plastic, allowing for bendable and foldable displays.
**Why Can’t LCD Bend?**
To understand why LCDs can't bend, we need to look at their structure. LCD panels are made with rigid glass substrates and liquid crystals sandwiched between them. This makes them inflexible. Different types of LCD panels, such as TN, VA, and IPS, vary in performance and application. For example, TV screens often use VA or IPS panels for better brightness and contrast, while monitors typically use TN panels for faster response times.
**LCD Panel Characteristics**
LCD panels offer good brightness and contrast, with a wide viewing angle and rich color reproduction. However, due to their thicker pixel structures, the image appears smoother and softer, making them ideal for viewing from a distance of about 1.5 meters.
**LCD TV Panels Have Thicker Pixels**
While LCD panels are commonly used in TVs, they generally have lower brightness and less vibrant colors compared to OLEDs. They also have narrower viewing angles and smaller dot pitches, resulting in sharper images that are better suited for close-up viewing.
**Why Is the LCD Screen Losing Out to OLED?**
Although LCDs are still widely used, they are becoming less popular in the consumer electronics market. This isn't because LCDs are inferior—they are comfortable and familiar to many users. The decline in popularity is relative, especially when compared to the rapid growth of OLED technology. OLEDs offer more design flexibility and superior visual performance, making them a more attractive choice for manufacturers.
Early OLEDs had some drawbacks, such as poor color accuracy, shorter lifespan, and lower pixel density. However, companies like Samsung have invested heavily in OLED R&D, leading to significant improvements over the years. In contrast, LCD technology has struggled to keep up with the advancements seen in OLEDs.
The key difference between OLED and LCD lies in whether the display is self-illuminating. As shown in the images, OLEDs have a simpler structure where each pixel can emit its own light. When displaying black, OLEDs turn off completely, while LCDs still have backlighting. This leads to better contrast, deeper blacks, and a wider color gamut in OLEDs. Plus, OLEDs are not only thinner but also capable of bending and stretching, giving them a clear technical edge over traditional LCDs.
