The document discusses different types of mobile displays, including CSTN, resistive, capacitive, TFD, TFT, OLED, AMOLED, Retina Display, Gorilla Glass, and IPS. It also covers various screen resolutions for mobile phones such as QVGA, wVGA, HVGA, nHD, WVGA, FWVGA, qHD, DVGA, XGA, and HD. The types of displays discussed are differentiated based on technology used, viewing quality parameters like viewing angles, and factors such as cost, power consumption and durability. Common screen resolutions for mobile phones ranging from lower to higher are also outlined.

1. Mobile
display types
By Pankaj Kukreti

2. CSTN
Color Super Twisted
Nematic
STN is black and
white,
while CSTN is the
color version.
cheaper and more
energy efficient.

3. Resistive
Contain two layer
of conductive
material with a
gap, when
touched two layer
meet

4. Capacitive
Consists of a
layer of glass
coated with a
transparent
conductor ,
when touched
interruption is
created

5. TFD
Also called Thin Film
Diode
power consumption
and low cost .

6. TFT (Thin Film Transistor)
most common
type of display
units
 narrow viewing
angles and poor
visibility

7. OLED
Known as
Organic Light
Emitting Diode
organic material
is sandwiched
between two
conducting
sheets

8. AMOLED
Active-Matrix
Organic Light-
Emitting Diode
 light weight,
better battery
life

9. Retina Display
Pixels cannot
be individually
identified by
the human
eye

10. Gorilla Glass
protect mobile
displays from
scratches,
drops, and
bumps of
everyday use

11. IPS (n-Place Switching)
wider viewing
angles and
lower power
consumption

12. On bases of
Screen
resolution

13. QVGA (240 x 320)
Quarter Video
Graphics Array
normally used
For budget
phones.

14. wVGA ( 240x432)
Wider Quarter
Video
Graphics Array
same height
as QVGA ,but
a greater width

15. HVGA (320 x 480)
half the size
of VGA
 refer to a
handful of
resolutions,

16. nHD (360 x 640)
not often used
by phones

17. WVGA 480 x 800
Wider' VGA
(Video
Graphics
Array)

18. FWVGA (480 x 854)
Having aspect
ratio of 16:9.

19. qHD (540 x 960)
One quarter
of a full HD
frame

20. DVGA (640 x 960)
Double VGA

21. XGA (768 x 1024)
Extended
Graphics Array

22. HD (720 x 1280)
 considered
high definition.
Often referred
to as 720p

23. WXGA
Wide Extended
Graphics Array
