Very professional! No bla bla blas like other channels do! You just delivered the message with no wasting of time! That's what I need we need ! Keep going on 👍
OLED uses less power only when they display black content because the pixels are off. However, OLED actually consumes more power than LCD when displaying whites and bright content. And we all know Android and iOS nowadays uses a lot of white on their UI. So the power savings from OLED is pretty much rendered useless by UI design.
You wrong.... organic light emitting diode... oled, amoled, superamoled, qled consume less power because each led on a screen is self emitting unlike lcd bruh!
@@carholic-sz3qv Peter is right, numbnuts, LCD's are more energy efficient than OLED unless you're displaying mainly black images that switches diods off. OLED is basically nothing other than more efficient plasma.
I am a senior (over 70) with just enough tech knowledge to be dangerous. This no nonsense video explained the difference so even I could understand. Many Kudos !!!!
Saiprasad Alva lol idiot samsung is the reason why iPhone X, Vivo X21 and pther phones who use samsung displays are expensive, Galaxy J6, A6, A6+, J8 were fucking overpriced.
Well, Apple sources its displays from Samsung so I think the actual reason was some sort of a contract between Apple and Samsung. OLED is going down in price as of now. But the thing is, Samsung is now working on Micro LED which is the next step up from OLED. Micro LED doesn't have that organic aspect of OLED therefore the burn in and other cons of OLED are not an issue with micro LED. Just wait a few years and watch Samsung start releasing micro LED 4K TV, smartphones, etc. only for Apple to release it on their computers and smartphones a few years after Samsung.
LCD suppliers maybe Japan Display, LG and few other companies. Apple doesn't like rely their parts on single company. OLED, Apple doesn't have choice, Samsung is literally dominating market with 90% share. It's not like Samsung being evil dictator of smartphone OLED market, It's just other companies failed on OLED R&D and mass manufacturing.
I would also say that a huge reason as to why Apple didn't make the switch sooner is that OLED's did not exhibit the color accuracy, longevity, or brightness of quality LCD panels just a few years ago. It wasn't until recently that the relatively young OLED technology matured enough to have almost no compromises compared to LCD, other than cost of difficulty of manufacture, which will of course improve over time as you pointed out.
Andrew Compton Almost no compromises??? OLED is trash. No amount of deep Black levels is worth dealing with burn-in, oversaturated colors, much lower peak brightness for HDR, and much shorter lifespan compared to LCD. There's a reason Samsung abandoned OLED TV's years ago and has now moved into working with Micro LED.
Well that's not a big deal. LCDs suffers from pixel stuck and dead pixel and oled suffers from the pixel burn. But if it's good enough it really doesn't occurs, for example I used my lumia 925 with full brightness, bright colored wallpapers (pink, violet, lime green, yellow cyan) and glance screen with the same bright colors for 4 years. And I didn't have a pixel burnt problem. İt was very good
I have been using OLED display smartphones since 2011 ( note 1 ) and I simply can't go back to an LCD smartphone there is a huge difference IMO they cant be even compared really the depth of the colors and the black levels are just incredible I wish in the near future everything uses OLED especially pc screens and TVs
Also Apple didn’t probably shift to OLED earlier because OLED panels used not to be very bright. That’s why almost always Apple’s display were brighter.
As an OLED phone owner, after my screen got hit at a very specific place, my entire screen had display issues caused by that OLED display. When we listen to you it sounds like screen damages shouldn't do that considering how each individual pixel shines its own light. So just to make it clear the damages will be the same with OLED.
Good video. Some more info: LCD lasts longer than Oled because of it's organic pixel structure it will fail eventually and become unstable so it produces at the end "dead pixels" and "stuck pixels" and this is visible as a burn-in, black spots, colored lines, dimmed spots, individual stuck pixels/no pixels, flickering etc. LCD's can also fail but more or less liquid cristals don't suffer changes in it's structure on it's own, it can have a burn-in but because of an external heat source, it can have "mura" effect where there are white or dark spots (bad process during manufacturing), lines and dead pixels because of a bad IC. The new MicroLED wont have such issues like Oled and will also be better than both LCD and Oled screen types today :-)
I watched this video because i wanted to know that what back-light is being used on mobile phones these days in LCD. Now i am satisfied that led is being used as back-light.
if you brake the display on your smartphone it usually costs half of its price to replace an LCD Screen, thats not cheap. at least this is how I see it. great video!
Why you mentioned just price as disadvantage to OLED? The main disadvantage is that pixels are "burning" very quickly. I had Samsung S6 edge plus and after half a year, I saw burned icons.
Oled is only more powerefficient when there are a lot of dark scenes, when the screen is showing more white colors, it is in fact less power efficient. Also dont forget the degradation of Oled pixels. In the end it is not the final tech and non organic led self emitting light pixels will be the future.
The issue with oled screens, compared to lcd is when an oled screen cracks, all the pixels go black and never are able to turn on again, but when the LCD cracks it is still partially functional. Oled screens are better in Every other aspect though
Oled screens are for a Fact not more power efficient as LCD screens. They are just as power efficient or the difference is barely noticeable. In some conditions like when the background or a lot of the image the screen needs to show is black, the OLED screen is more power efficient because a big part of the screen doesn’t use power while the LCD screen needs to turn on a big part of it’s screen to blackout the white backlight. But in other situations like an image with bright colors or if the background is white, LCDs are more efficient with a bigger margin because then the OLED screen needs to have all of it’s pixels lit up while the LCD only needs to have part of it’s screen aside from the backlight turned on to display another color than white. While this difference isn’t noticed when both screen’s brightness is less than 250 nits, the difference is very noticeable on very bright screens like the MacBook Pro’s screen of 500 nits or the iPhone XS Max display of 725 nits the difference is very noticeable.
I don’t think it all comes down to price of manufacture. There are so many factors why Apple doesn’t adopt it early. In a keynote in the 2000s, Steve said the LCD is more reliable and durable than OLED, meaning OLED wasn’t matured yet... not just the price to manufacture. There are also other factors which includes quality of OLED itself not up to Apple’s standards.
I don't see high resolution oled displays coming down in costs so soon as it's basically just a handful of companies that have the expertise and facilities to manufacture them
So is it true that the OLED screen won’t last as long as a LCD? I have heard that iPhone LCD can last several years longer than OLED because it’s lifespan is significant shorter?
You’re wrong, Apple has the capacity to have made their phones in the past OLED, the reason they did not has nothing to do with what you’ve said and I have no clue where you’re getting your information. OLED displays, because each pixel emits its own light, suffer from what’s called burn in. Only until recently did OLED technology get advanced to the point where Apple feels comfortable enough to put it in their phones. Burnin causes stationary images or icons that is usually in one part of the screen to stay imprinted onto the screen even after navigating away from the image or icons. Now OLED still isn’t perfect and Apple’s new phones, along with other major manufacturers using OLED, will suffer from burnin if used with a stationary image on the screen for too long. Apple simply waited for the technology to advance to the point where burnin will not be a concern of the consumers.
Bee Vang lol yep! OLED was still not perfect enough that Apple used software to combat burn-ins Someone in Korea replaced the screen on the X because he felt the burn-in was excessive. The replaced screen, however, portrayed the same burn-in but of the opposite color. Seems like depending on the time you used your device, the phone calibrates the color/brightness of each pixels to minimize burn-in users may experience.
Though I personally prefer OLED over LCD. Any day. Been using OLED screened phones since 2010's Nokia N8. The colors can be a bit over saturated for some, but I prefer those extra punchy colors. And the deep blacks are just unmatched!
Negatives of OLED should also be mentioned here rather than just saying they are better than LCD. Its not true to just say they use less power. It very much depends on the content being shown and brightness. And at higher brightness burn in also becomes a much bigger issue. I like both technologies, I just think this video could be more balanced
Saying that the OLED is bendy is a little misleading because that's only in pOLED screens like the LG G Flex and Moto Z2 Force (which the latter is also called AMOLED as well by Motorola, which makes all this even more confusing)
you mentioned that oled are flexible right??.. last night i dropped my oled phone and saw a crack across the screen.. without any external cracks.. just inside.. what could be the problem?? also the cracks are thick and when hit by light.. doesnt shine.

Exactly, apple products are just over priced
Because Apple profit margins are higher than any Android manufacturer.
The Ruins not true asshole, is because it's Apple and it has to be expensive just for the brand.
A phone is more than its screen. Hows that software?
You should also mention that samsung has the biggest production of oled displays and they sell to apple

Thats a lame excuse by apple..lcd looks shit in front of oled
Fuck Apple they are just overpriced piece of shit
Andrew Compton OLED and Amoled where considered superior to led back then too.
Andrew Compton
So why other companies didn’t do the same thing ... does Apple the only company know how to get money and sell products ....
How did you not compare the lifespan and the burn in for OLED? wtf
In the real world burn in is super rare so that is why that was not mentioned.
Because it's irrelevant. Both panels normally outlast the phone as a whole. You'd more likely have battery issues first.
How about lightburn in lcd?
Well that's not a big deal.
LCDs suffers from pixel stuck and dead pixel and oled suffers from the pixel burn.
But if it's good enough it really doesn't occurs, for example I used my lumia 925 with full brightness, bright colored wallpapers (pink, violet, lime green, yellow cyan) and glance screen with the same bright colors for 4 years. And I didn't have a pixel burnt problem. İt was very good
Oled only burns in if your brightness is always on max otherwise it takes a lot for oled to burn in
No iPhone LG Google joining with Samsung on OLED game
Samsung uses OLED panels more than 6-7 years
Walid Jami wait amoled is the same as oled???
@@giovannifrrri5495 yep..
Generally, OLED has 2types, one is AMOLED (Samsung), PMOLED (LG), so yes, AMOLED is part of OLED product.
Walid, mate, no one fucking cares
From Samsung s1, Samsung has used OLED-AMOLED
After watching this i instantly subscribed to it ive been living under a rock in the past..
You didn’t mention the fact that OLED is much more prone to screen burn-in.
I have been using OLED display smartphones since 2011 ( note 1 ) and I simply can't go back to an LCD smartphone there is a huge difference IMO they cant be even compared really
the depth of the colors and the black levels are just incredible
I wish in the near future everything uses OLED especially pc screens and TVs
My search for how mobile display works ends here with a bunch of bonus information.
Also Apple didn’t probably shift to OLED earlier because OLED panels used not to be very bright. That’s why almost always Apple’s display were brighter.
Pretty sure Samsung's AMOLED has always been brighter
Idiot apple display sucks since the beginning idiot. Just apple dont have enough source where to get it idiot idiot

one word *FASCINATING*
Most awaited video
One question bro..
can we use a OLED screen on LCD capable phone? I mean can we replace LCD with OLED?
Nope unless ur planning to redesign the motherboard
It was very educational. I subscribed.
Nice simple comparison guys. Thanks
I like LCD. Clear white.
MicroLED will supersede them both.
Why you mentioned just price as disadvantage to OLED? The main disadvantage is that pixels are "burning" very quickly. I had Samsung S6 edge plus and after half a year, I saw burned icons.

Oled screens are better in Every other aspect though
Which one is less damaging for your eyes? For example which one it creates less strain on your eyes when using it at night or in a dark room?
Also OLED have fewer subpixel than LCD, thats why to match the PPI experience, it needs more resolution than LCD
Thanks a lot for the exolanation. It simple but ver very useful....
Very informative and unbiased
Thanks for the video, clear and to the point.
Can I swap a LCD display with an OLED? Do they have the same connector and driver?
LOL. Just buy the new iPhone.
You made me to subscribe your channel on your first video, very impressive
Keep it on

you had not discuss the life cycle of both, which i think so LCD are more durable than OLED. pls suggest
Apple has researched a revolutionery invention in display system. AMOLED.
And low-end OLED may have serious burn-in problem.
Very informative! Thanks!
Like it straight to the point 👍
Great video folks! May you mention types of burn-ins that can happen to both types in some circumstances next time, would be interesting. Thanks!
Good content and info. But you missed that screen burn in part. One of the biggest reasons that OLED isn't that widely adopted.
Though I personally prefer OLED over LCD. Any day.
Been using OLED screened phones since 2010's Nokia N8. The colors can be a bit over saturated for some, but I prefer those extra punchy colors. And the deep blacks are just unmatched!
So which one is better if your phone screen breaks? oled or lcd?
Great video! Now make one about microLED and how it will work in the future phones :)
Could have added that OLED panels more easily burn in compared to LCD, and that OLED panels are organic so they can faster degrade overtime.
Negatives of OLED should also be mentioned here rather than just saying they are better than LCD. Its not true to just say they use less power. It very much depends on the content being shown and brightness. And at higher brightness burn in also becomes a much bigger issue.

Nice information 👌
We need more for IPS and Super Amoled or Retina dispaly.
Why oled has screen burning issues????
That was really good video. Thank u!
Saying that the OLED is bendy is a little misleading because that's only in pOLED screens like the LG G Flex and Moto Z2 Force (which the latter is also called AMOLED as well by Motorola, which makes all this even more confusing)

Can you also explain OLED and AMOLED differences?
Great video, but you totally forgot to talk about burn in, it’s a pretty important issue regarding OLED
What's that microscope you guys use?
Can you test the Oled display use how many hour to get burn-in?
Oled are also highly prone to burnout than LCD
iFIXIT LOVE THE NAME
I am a big fan of LCD display on the phone
is it posbile to change the display type, from an ips to a oled? or is a sofware that blocks that possibility?
Are the OLED displays transparent with a black backing that can be removed?
I was really hoping to see them show that iPhone X OLED panel torn down and how it folds back on itself.
Small price for increased battery life, color accuracy, weight, size and durability.
Wowow , I think I'm learning something
great video,thanks
Just out of curiosity, why did you choose the iphone 4(s)?
you mentioned that oled are flexible right??.. last night i dropped my oled phone and saw a crack across the screen.. without any external cracks.. just inside.. what could be the problem?? also the cracks are thick and when hit by light.. doesnt shine.
What is the organic component that the OLED displays have?
