Custom Displays - Should I choose TFT or AMOLED technology?
30-09-2025
Choosing the right display technology is crucial when developing your product – it affects visual experience, power usage, and cost.
Two of the most popular choices are TFT and AMOLED, but they offer very different benefits.
TFT (Thin Film Transistor) is a type of LCD with:
• Backlight-based illumination
• Reliable performance
• More affordable pricing
• Slightly lower contrast and brightness
AMOLED (Active Matrix OLED) offers:
• Self-emissive pixels (no backlight needed)
• Deep blacks and rich contrast
• Vivid colors with high efficiency
• Better performance in darker environments
In short:
TFT = budget-friendly and proven
AMOLED = high-end visuals and energy efficiency
