Screens with LTPO technologies are more present in the market and we will tell you everything you need to know about it in this note!
In recent years, the technology of cell phone screens has been changing and improving until reaching the well-known screens OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode). This type of display also uses technology LTPS (polycrystalline low temperature silicon). However, the market is being monopolized more and more by LTPO technology and we are going to tell you why they are important for the cell phone screen.
The best cell phones Android o iOS are equipped with an OLED screen, accompanied by LTPS technology (low temperature polycrystalline silicon) for the transistors that form the back plate. This technology gives us a bright and clear screen without using the same battery that a screen would use. LCD. The reason this is possible is because each pixel generates its own light and can be turned off independently.
However, a new technology is taking center stage in recent years and it is the LTPO (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide). The first time we saw him in action was with the Apple Watch 4.
Samsung He also worked with this technology, but gave it his own name. Is about hop (hybrid oxide polycrystalline) and is a kind of brother of the LTPOonly that it has some differences that save the South Korean company from being sued.
But… Why is it important to have this type of screen? The most consuming thing on any device is the screen. With the addition of technology HOP or LTPOit saves much more energy even if it is turned up to the maximum brightness, compared to a normal screen LCD. Another advantage is the refresh rate, that is, the number of times the screen is renewed per second and is measured in Hz. In a high-end cell phone, the frequency is up to 120Hz.
With technology LTPO, we have a refresh rate that can be modified. Thanks to this, users can graduate how “fluid” they want their screen to refresh per second and, at the same time, save a little more battery. If this function is put to good use, we can enjoy games with up to 120Hz and, at the same time, read messages with a frequency of 60Hzand allow our cell phone battery to last longer than it would normally last.
