Power Consumption of Various Displays: TFT, OLED, and Glass Displays
Working on low-power embedded or IoT applications can be challenging due to the need to minimize power consumption at all stages. One of the most power-hungry components in these devices is often the display. Therefore, understanding the power consumption of different types of displays—TFT Display , OLED, and Glass LCD displays—is crucial when selecting one for your project. In this article explores how power consumption varies among these display types, helping you make an informed choice. What is TFT Displays ? TFT (Thin Film Transistor) displays typically use TN (Twisted Nematic) LCD technology, making them active-matrix LCDs. These displays hold back some pixels while using others, which helps reduce energy consumption. Key components of TFT LCDs include capacitors and transistors, which ensure efficient operation by using minimal energy. TFT displays offer wider viewing angles and better contrast ratios than standard TN displays, making them popular in various applications like c...
