What is an IGZO panel?
Indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) is a semiconducting material, consisting of indium (In), gallium (Ga), zinc (Zn) and oxygen (O). IGZO thin-film transistors (TFT) are used in the TFT backplane of flat-panel displays (FPDs).
What is LTPS backplane?
LTPS is by far the most commonly used backplane technology, when you combine its use in LCD and AMOLED panels. The drawback of LTPS TFT comes from its increasingly complicated manufacturing process and material costs, which makes the technology more expensive to produce, especially as resolutions continue to increase.
How do thin-film transistors work?
A thin-film transistor (TFT) is a type of field-effect transistor that is usually used in a liquid crystal display (LCD). This type of display features a TFT for each individual pixel. These TFTs act as individual switches that allow the pixels to change state rapidly, making them turn on and off much more quickly.
Which is better IGZO or IPS gaming monitor?
There are some cheaper IGZO displays such as the AOC 24G2, which is an affordable and popular 1080p 144Hz IPS gaming monitor. At the moment, the main advantage of IGZO is its very low power consumption.
What’s the difference between IPS and IGZO backplane?
IGZO is an acronym for Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide and it’s actually a different type of semiconductor found in the TFT backplane; it’s not a different panel technology altogether. In comparison to standard aSi-TFT IPS displays, an IGZO-TFT IPS display greatly saves on power consumption, while giving equally accurate and vibrant colors.
Is the IGZO transistor made of rare metals?
The IGZO transistor is made from rare metals such as the Indium and Gallium, and therefore it is costly. For instance, the NEC PA322UHD is a 4K resolution monitor with a 14-bit Look-Up Table for precise calibration and covers 99.2% of the Adobe RGB color space.
How big is the Dell Precision 7150 screen?
The Dell Precision 7150 features a wide array of 15.6-inch display options (four, to be exact), ranging from a low-end, 1920×1080 standard LED TN panel with an advertised 45% color gamut all the way up to a 3840×2160 (4K) IGZO IPS Anti-Glare display (282 pixels per inch).
