LCD & Plasma & LPD & OLED & DLP comparing with LED tech

LED

High contrast, Low power, Large viewing angle, Long Lifetime

Not the lowest cost technology available

LCD

Low power (switching only)

Slow response time (motion blur), 450-700 nits brightness, Viewing angle (160 degrees H&V), 245W/msq

Plasma

CRT picture quality

Subject to “burn-in”, Pixel pitch (.8mm - 1 mm), Viewing angl (160 degrees H&V), Brightness 72 to 299 nits, Saturated colors, lower gray levels, Longevity - est. 30,000 - 60,000 hours                                      LPD

Low power

Moving, spinning parts, Low brightness (600 nits), Closed loop image adjustment, Thick chasis

SED

SED = Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display, CRT picture quality, Wide viewing angle, fast response time

Peak brightness specification - 300 nits, Subject to “burn-in Patent

issues slowing production

OLED

Low voltage, super thin analog display devices Saturated, bright colors and wide viewing angles

Brightness of 100-200 nits, contrast 200:1 - 400:1 Lifetime issues, currently ~1000 hours

DLP

Higher contrast ratio than LCDs, Low production costs, No possibility of “burn-in”

Only one color is displayed at a time; if colors are not rotate fast

enough, this becomes noticeable and is called the d “rainbow effect”

Extremely small viewing angle
