What is the difference between STN and TFT?
STN (Super Twisted Nematic):
Type of LCD Technology: STN is a type of passive matrix LCD technology.
Matrix Arrangement: STN displays use a matrix arrangement of liquid crystal molecules.
Response Time: Generally, STN displays have slower response times compared to TFT displays.
Viewing Angles: STN displays may have limited viewing angles, and color reproduction may not be as vibrant as in TFT displays.
Applications: STN displays are used in applications where cost is a significant factor, and where fast refresh rates and high color quality are not critical. They were common in older displays and certain low-cost applications.
TFT (Thin-Film Transistor):
Type of LCD Technology: TFT is an active matrix LCD technology.
Matrix Arrangement: TFT displays use a thin-film transistor for each pixel, allowing for precise control over each individual pixel.
Response Time: TFT displays generally have faster response times, making them suitable for applications where fast motion or video is important.
Viewing Angles: TFT displays typically have better viewing angles and color reproduction compared to STN displays.
