Although the LCD screen can display thousands of colours, its internal light source has only one colour. It can only emit white light. So how do people make this one light change into thousands of colours? They use a material called liquid crystal. It can control the amount of voltage, so as to control the amount of light that comes through. We can control the amount of light that comes through by letting the backlight layer of the LCD pass through the liquid crystal.

LCD is an acronym for liquid crystal display. But it doesn't make up the colour images that we see.  So while adding the liquid crystal layer, we also needs to add a colored light-transmitting film to it. This allows different kinds of red to be displayed. Generally 256 kinds of red can be displayed. By controlling each LCD panel and then adding the red green and blue light-transmitting films. In this way we form a pixel on the screen. Each colour has 256 brightnesses. The screen can display more than 16 million colours by combining the three colours together.

There is one problem with LCD screens, that is, they cannot display pure black, because the backlight layer is all lit up. You cannot control the backlight layer on a single pixel and the liquid crystal layer cannot be turned off completely, so there will be light leakage when displaying black. Its biggest advantage is that there is no strobe because it adjusts the brightness by the voltage level. It changes the voltage slowly and without sudden big changes. So there is no eye discomfort when staring at the LCD for a long period of time.

The lighting principle of OLED screens is much simpler than LCD screens. Its colour is controlled directly by the individual LEDs. It dosen’t use liquid crystal and light-transmitting film, so it can be made much thinner. It can be 1/3 the thickness of an LCD screen. It is also bendable. Since each LED can be switched individually, when displaying black, you can simply switched off the LED so that it can display pure black.

You can see the difference in performance between the two screens when displaying pure black. At this time, the dark mode brings out the advantages of OLED. If we want to show the time, OLED screens only need to light up a certain area of the LEDs. However the backlight panel of an LCD screen needs to be fully lit up. Since OLEDs do not require liquid crystal layers, they are directly illuminated, so OLEDs are more brilliant in display.

The advantages of OLEDs over LCDs are obvious. But there is one thing that OLED is not as good as LCDs. That is the dimming method of OLED is on/off switch adjustment. It adjusts the brightness by switching the LEDs on and off frequently. The number of switches per second can reach several hundred times. Although the human eyes can not notice this little change, staring at the screen for a long period of time may make some people's eyes very uncomfortable.
