OLED technology offers more vibrant colors than LCD screens because each pixel of an OLED screen emits its own light, while LCD screens use backlighting to illuminate the liquid crystals, which can alter the purity of colors.
OLED pixels are said to be self-emissive because they produce their own light when activated. This means that each pixel shines independently, unlike LCD screens where a light source, usually an LED backlight, passes through several layers to display the image. Since OLEDs light up on their own, they do not require backlighting, allowing for slimmer designs and greater flexibility in screens. Thanks to the individual control of each pixel, the displayed colors are much more accurate and vibrant.
OLED screens display perfect blacks because each pixel can turn off completely (self-emissive). Unlike traditional LCDs that use a permanent backlight, even when a pixel needs to remain black, some light always bleeds through, making the image appear grayish. The ability of OLED pixels to turn off individually produces very high contrast, highlighting vibrant and more realistic colors. As a result, you get a much more vivid and immersive image, where details stand out clearly even in the darkest scenes.
OLED screens can display a much wider variety of colors than traditional LCD screens. Specifically, they cover a larger color gamut, allowing you to see richer and more varied colors on the screen. This advantage comes from their ability to precisely control the red, green, and blue light emitted by each pixel, resulting in more subtle shades and an impressive visual intensity. With OLED, challenging hues like emerald greens, deep blues, or vivid reds stand out brilliantly, providing a more "vibrant" visual experience compared to traditional LCDs limited by their backlighting.
OLED screens maintain their vibrant colors and brightness even when viewed from the sides. You can watch your favorite series from any corner of the living room without seeing the image lose intensity or shift to strange hues. In contrast, LCD screens often require backlighting, which leads to variations in brightness, loss of contrast, or color distortion when you move too much on the couch. Thanks to the self-emissive pixels of OLED screens (which emit their own light), each pixel remains true to color without being affected by the angle from which you view the screen. The result: a more stable and uniform image, regardless of your position in the room.
Unlike LCD screens, OLED screens do not require backlighting. Each pixel produces its own light, which explains their impressive thinness and great physical flexibility.
Thanks to their self-emissive technology, OLED screens display lower pixel latency than traditional LCD screens, enabling smoother and more responsive animations and gaming.
Due to their high contrast and precise management of dark levels, OLED screens are ideal for fully enjoying dark mode, thereby reducing eye strain, especially during prolonged use.
The manufacturing of OLED displays is also compatible with curved, foldable, and even rollable screens, paving the way for surprising innovations in design and ergonomics.
Yes, thanks to their technology that allows for complete pixel shutdown to display true black, OLED screens offer infinitely higher contrast than LCD screens. This enhances the reproduction of dark scenes, significantly improving the viewing experience during movie sessions with your favorite content.
In reality, OLED screens can consume less power when displaying dark images. Since each pixel operates independently, black pixels are simply turned off, unlike LCDs that require constant backlighting across the entire surface. However, for displaying very bright content, an OLED screen can consume as much, or even more power than an LCD screen.
Yes, historically, OLED screens were more susceptible to burn-in or image retention, especially with static images displayed for extended periods. However, current manufacturers are implementing various strategies such as subtle pixel shifting and improvements in organic materials to significantly reduce this risk in recent models.
OLED screens generally cost more to produce due to their complex manufacturing process and the self-emitting organic materials used. However, the cost tends to gradually decrease as the technology becomes more widespread and manufacturing methods improve.
The average lifespan of modern OLED screens is typically around 30,000 to 100,000 hours, depending on the model and usage conditions. The continuous improvement of OLED technologies now allows for a lifespan comparable to that of LCD screens.
