Altitude Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) I understand what the difference is, but does anyone one have first hand experience with the transflective type? Edited June 23, 2010 by Altitude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuriedCode Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Depends what you mean by 'first hand' :D It looks pretty much exactly how its designed to look, not 'great' in sunlight, but readable. And not 'superbright' in the dark, but again, readable. As you talking about STN LCD's? TFT's ? The newer TFT panels used in car navigation systems and mobile phones (usually <3.5" but sometimes larger for high-endlaptops) are 'micro-transflective' making them readable in full sunlight with the sacrifice of contrast and colour saturation. For the most part, in terms of the character/graphic TF LCD's I've used, they never seem to be very bright, even inthe dark, since the transflectice layer absorbs a lot of the backlight. But that is perfectly made up for in normal lighting conditions, where it doesn't 'wash out'. Also note (you probably know), LCD's aren't 'esmissive' per-se, emitting no light, only allowing it pass, thats why backlights are needed for transmissive/transflective. OLED's however, are, along with a fantastic contrast ratio (10000:1?), sunlight readable, but with limited operational life. Buriedcode.
