What is the difference between an IPS touchscreen and a TFT LCD?
The difference between an IPS touchscreen and a TFT LCD is that an IPS screen is a type of TFT LCD.
LCDs include both IPS and TFT.
You can understand it this way: IPS is a type of screen. TFT is a screen display technology. That is to say, IPS can also use TFT technology.
TFT is a type of LCD, which is a thin-film transistor display technology. There are some other display technologies as well. However, TFT display is the best, so it is widely used.
IPS is a type of LCD. There are generally three types of LCDs: TN soft screen, VA soft screen, and IPS hard screen.
IPS is a high-end LCD backlight screen, belonging to high-end products. When this type of screen is lit, pressing the surface will not produce ripples. IPS has vibrant and rich colors, perfectly displaying dynamic images. The viewing angle is 178 degrees, and the image can be seen even when viewed from the side.
However, IPS screens may have light leakage, but it is generally not a significant issue. Also, some people may find IPS screens dazzling. But some people don't notice it.
Therefore, LCD includes IPS and TFT, and IPS can also include TFT.
