Moto X Style Display: What is a TFT-LCD?



I'll just get right to the point... Every LCD in every computer, , and television produced since the early s has been some type of TFT-LCD. TFT stands for thin-film-transistor. Thin-film-transistors are used in all modern LCDs to enable active matrix addressing of pixels. No one makes non-TFT (passive matrix) LCDs anymore as it's old, inferior technology!

Next, let me address this phrase that has been popping up everywhere lately: "IPS is better than TFT." No. Just no. This statement makes no sense because IPS (In-plane switching) displays are actually a type of TFT-LCD. There are many types of TFT-LCDs: IPS, TN, MVA, and PVA just to name a few. You wouldn't say "a Great White is cooler than a shark", would you? Because a Greate White IS a shark! So stop saying "IPS is better than TFT."

This quote, directly from the horse's mouth (the Lenovo / Motorola website), sums it all up nicely:

IPS, also known as In-Plane Switching, is a type of monitor display and screen technology. More specifically, an IPS panel is a type of TFT LCD (or &#;active matrix&#; LCD). LCD, or Liquid Crystal Display, is the use of light modulating properties from unlit liquid crystals for providing a flat panel or electronic visual display. TFT, which stands for Thin Film Transistor, is an LCD display variant built and marketed for enhanced color, as well as contrast and black levels. The two most common types of TFT LCDs are IPS and TN displays.

The active matrix IPS TFT LCD was developed by Hitachi in as a solution to the display limitations of TN TFT LCDs (Twisted Nematic) from the late s, which are standard non-IPS LCDs.

So the bottom line is, we can't tell how good the LCD in the Moto Style will be by looking at the spec sheet, because the spec sheet only tells us that the display is a TFT-LCD, as every modern LCD is, but it doesn't tell us the important info... which type of TFT-LCD it is. It could be IPS. It could be TN. It could be some other technology. But if initial reports and reactions are anything to go by, it's looking pretty damn good whatever it is.
