In the aftermarket for phone screen replacements, the phone display assembly market is largely divided into two categories: OLED and LCD. At NCC, we specialize in high-quality, cost-effective display assembly replacement solutions tailored for phone refurbishing and repair businesses.
Whether you’re looking for Incell LCD screen assembly replacements or advanced OLED screen assembly replacements, NCC offers reliable wholesale options with performance-tested quality.
Understanding How OLED and LCD Screens Work
What Is a Pixel?
Before comparing their features, it’s essential to understand how these screen technologies operate at the pixel level.
Each display consists of millions of pixels, and every pixel is made up of three subpixels—Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B). By adjusting the brightness and combination of these colors, a wide range of images and colors can be displayed.
LCD: Backlight-Based Display Technology
LCDs (Liquid Crystal Displays) rely on a backlight layer composed of white LED lights. A colored film is placed over the backlight, and a liquid crystal layer functions like a valve to control how much light passes through each subpixel. This is how color and brightness are adjusted.
OLED: Self-Emissive Pixels
OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) displays don’t require a backlight. Each pixel is a tiny self-lighting diode capable of emitting its own color and brightness. This makes OLED displays thinner, more flexible, and capable of richer blacks and higher contrast.
Key Differences Between OLED and LCD Screens
| Feature | LCD | OLED |
| Light Source | Needs backlight | Self-emissive pixels |
| Thickness | Thicker due to backlight | Thinner and flexible |
| Price | Lower production cost | Higher cost due to complex tech |
| Lifespan | Longer (inorganic materials) | Shorter (organic materials) |
| Color Performance | Slightly muted blacks due to backlight | Perfect blacks and vivid contrast |
| Power Consumption | Higher (entire backlight on) | Lower (only lit pixels consume power) |
| Pixel Density | Typically higher | Slightly lower |
| Eye Comfort | Minimal flickering, lower eye strain | Possible flicker and burn-in over time |
| Response Speed | Slower | Extremely fast, minimal ghosting |
Why LCD Still Has a Strong Market Presence
Although OLED screens are now widely used in flagship smartphones due to their superior display quality, LCD phone screens remain highly relevant, especially for entry-level or budget-friendly smartphones.
- Lower Cost: LCD screens are more affordable to produce, making them ideal for large-scale repairs or refurbishments.
- Reduced Eye Strain: Unlike OLED, LCDs have minimal flicker, making them better for prolonged usage.
- Longer Lifespan: Inorganic materials used in LCDs result in a longer functional life, particularly beneficial in refurbished phones.
