  • HDR

    HDR (high dynamic range) in displays is the ability to show brighter highlights, deeper shadows and wider color than standard dynamic range video.

  • LCD

    An LCD is a display that forms images by using liquid crystals to modulate light from a separate backlight, pixel by pixel, via polarizers and color…

  • MicroLED

    MicroLED is a self-emissive display technology in which every subpixel is a microscopic inorganic LED, combining high brightness with true blacks.

  • Mini-LED

    Mini-LED is an LCD backlight built from thousands of tiny LEDs in local dimming zones, giving displays higher brightness and deeper contrast for HDR.

  • OLED

    OLED is a display technology in which every pixel emits its own light, giving true blacks, fast response and wide viewing angles without a backlight.

  • Pixel density

    Pixel density measures how many pixels a display packs into each inch, usually in PPI, and determines how sharp text and images appear at a distance.

  • Refresh rate

    Refresh rate is how many times per second a display redraws its image, measured in hertz, and it shapes motion clarity, smoothness and input latency.
