TN

Gray, yellow-green,

30~50°

Cheap

Segment screen

1/8

Cheap mold making, low unit price, low power consumption, can be used with TFT to become an active matrix display, fast response time, low technical entry threshold

Cannot produce high-frequency signals, poor viewing angle, poor contrast, unrealistic color performance

 TN-

Black bottom

30~50°

Cheap

Segment screens, electronic watches, calculators, game consoles, etc. LCDs are mostly TN-LCD

1/8

Cheap mold opening, low unit price, low power consumption

Cannot make high-pass, poor viewing angle, poor contrast, background color is limited to black

HTN

Yellow green, gray

60°~70°

Between TN screen and STN screen, moderate cost performance

Segment screen, general instrument or meter

1/8

Compared with TN screen, it has a wider viewing angle, low cost, low power consumption, easy production, and a wide range of applications.

Poor contrast, average display effect, not suitable for manufacturing high-drive LCD

STN

Gray background, yellow-green background

150°

Medium price: yellow-green film and blue film are the same price; gray film is more expensive

Segment screen, dot matrix screen, STN LCD screen, high-end instruments or meters, wire welding machines, notepads, etc.

1/240

High driving capability, large amount of displayed information, wide viewing angle, diversified display modes, and wide range of applications

Process equipment, high requirements, low yield, high raw material requirements, high cost

STN-

Light font on dark blue background

150°

Medium price

Segment screen, dot matrix screen

1/240

High driving capability

FSTN

Gray and white background, red, green and blue background, black text,

150°

Slightly expensive

Dot matrix screen, wide range of use,

1/240

Good background color, wide viewing angle, semi-transparent and semi-reflective, sunlight visible, high-number dot matrix, can display any graphics

The background color is not pure enough; the response time is slow; the color will change due to high temperature; the power consumption is high; the cost is high, and it is only used in passive matrix and cannot be used with TFT to become active matrix;

     DFSTN-

Black background: font and backlight color are the same

150°

Relatively expensive

Dot matrix screen

1/240

It is a cool compensation black film for FSTN, which can resist the influence of temperature and always maintain high contrast, making up for the disadvantage that FSTN color is affected by high temperature.

Colors are available now, only black background; expensive

        VA

Black background with white text

100°

expensive

Segment Code

1/8; 1/16(Applicable only to character dot matrix module)

Pure black background, excellent contrast, good color effect, solves the problem of TN-screen being "not black enough" and the viewing angle problem of TN+ screen.
