There have been many voices saying that OLED is about to replace LCD as the mainstream of the display screen industry. Today, the editor of Shenzhen High brightness LCD screen manufacturer will organize some main parameters about the display screen industry for comparison, to see which LCD display screen is better than OLED display screen. Let's take a look together:
Lifespan: Flat Hand
There is currently no authoritative lifespan data available for both LCD displays and OLEDs, so it is widely believed in the industry that the difference in lifespan is not significant.
Price: LCD display screen wins
Obviously, LCD displays are much cheaper than OLEDs, and the cost difference may reach up to 5 times. However, OLED TVs are also becoming increasingly affordable, which is worth noting.
Energy consumption: LCD display screen wins
The energy consumption of LCD displays depends on the backlight setting, so LED backlight design is more energy-efficient than OLEDs that emit light independently for each pixel. According to Cnet testing, the annual power consumption cost of a 55 inch LCD TV using LED technology is about $14 (approximately RMB 87), while an LG OLED TV of the same size costs $45 (approximately RMB 280).
Brightness PK: LCD display screen wins
LCD screens, especially LED backlights, have various backlight designs, such as bottom, top, and bottom, side lighting, global lighting, etc., which have relatively higher brightness. Although OLEDs can self emit light, their brightness is slightly lower compared to LED backlights.

Visual angle and uniformity: OLED wins
Although technologies such as IPS and curved screens can improve the viewing angle of LCD screens, there are still some blind spots. OLED does not have any perspective issues, and even from extreme perspectives, it is generally consistent. Uniformity refers to the consistency of screen backlight. OLEDs exhibit more uniform performance due to their self luminous properties, while LCD displays may experience some degree of light leakage due to different backlight positions, especially in most side lit LEDs.
Black level: OLED wins
In terms of black level, due to the independent self illumination of each pixel in OLED, the color performance is more profound and natural. Regardless of which backlight technology is used in LCD TVs, local dimming can have some impact, affecting the restoration of black effects.
Refresh rate and motion blur: LCD display screen wins
Relatively speaking, LCD displays have higher refresh rates and motion blur processing, while current versions of OLEDs generally still exhibit significant motion blur effects. Cnet testing found that even with the use of black frame insertion technology to solve motion blur, LCD screens generally perform better than OLEDs.
Contrast: OLED wins
Contrast, which means pure black is better than pure white, OLED10000, LCD2000. OLED has an absolute advantage.
Resolution: Flat Hand
Both LCD screens and OLEDs currently meet the highest resolution standard of 4K ultra high definition.
Summary: Although OLED has many advantages that LCD cannot compare to, there is still a huge gap in the market compared to LCD due to insufficient production processes and high costs. In fact, while OLED technology is accelerating its development, LCD is also constantly breaking new heights. In the long run, liquid crystals will be replaced by self luminous technology, but they can last for a very long time (such as twenty years)
