Display type refers to the specific technology used to create the visual output on a screen, such as those found in smartphones, tablets, monitors, and TVs. Common display types include LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode), AMOLED (Active Matrix OLED), TFT (Thin-Film Transistor), and e-ink. Each type varies in aspects like brightness, color accuracy, power consumption, viewing angles, and refresh rates. For example, OLED and AMOLED displays offer deeper blacks and higher contrast, while LCDs are often more cost-effective and energy-efficient. The choice of display type significantly influences the visual quality and performance of a device.
