Optoelectronics display modules are electro-optical devices that convert digital signals into visual information. LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode), and Graphic modules represent three core technologies in modern display systems. These modules enable human-machine interaction in applications ranging from consumer electronics to industrial automation, with advancements driving thinner form factors, lower power consumption, and higher visual fidelity.
| Type | Functional Features | Application Examples |
|---|---|---|
| LCD | Backlit liquid crystal layer, requires polarizers, moderate power consumption | Smartphones, TVs, automotive dashboards |
| OLED | Self-emissive organic materials, infinite contrast ratio, flexible variants | Smartwatches, VR headsets, premium smartphones |
| Graphic | Fixed pixel matrix for icons/symbols, low resolution but high reliability | Industrial equipment, medical devices, vending machines |
LCD: Composed of backlight unit (LED/CCFL), liquid crystal layer, color filters, and TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) array. Polarizing films on both sides control light transmission.
OLED: Contains anode/cathode layers with organic emissive materials (small molecules or polymers) sandwiched between. Utilizes encapsulation layers to prevent moisture damage.
Graphic Modules: Simplified structure with segmented electrodes and passive matrix addressing, often using monochrome STN (Super-Twisted Nematic) technology.
| Parameter | Description | Importance |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution (ppi) | Pixels per inch determining image sharpness | Higher values provide clearer visuals |
| Luminance (cd/m ) | Brightness level sustainability | Impacts outdoor visibility |
| Response Time (ms) | Pixel switching speed | Prevents motion blur in dynamic content |
| Operating Temperature ( C) | Functional temperature range | Determines environmental adaptability |
| Lifespan (hours) | Half-brightness duration | 100,000 for LCD, 50,000 for OLED |
| Manufacturer | Type | Representative Product |
|---|---|---|
| Samsung Display | OLED | AMOLED for Galaxy smartphones |
| LG Display | LCD | IPS panels for Apple iPad Pro |
| Sharp | Graphic | LS013B7DH01 memory LCD |
| BOE Technology | All Types | 10.7" flexible AMOLED for wearables |
