Displays & Screens

LCD stands for “Liquid Crystal Display.” It uses a backlight, so the screen isn’t as dark or colorful as AMOLED, but it still looks good and is easier on the battery.

Everyday Example:

Like the screen on a basic phone, calculator, or fitness tracker — simple and clear.

This keeps part of your screen visible all the time — usually the time, date, or step count — even when you're not using it.

Everyday Example:

Like a digital clock that never goes fully black — you can glance at it without tapping.

A low-power display that works great in bright sunlight but isn’t as colorful. It’s designed for outdoor visibility and long battery life.

Everyday Example:

Like a Kindle screen or a hiking watch — easy to see, even in direct sunlight.

Uses light around you (like sunlight) to reflect info on the screen. It’s not flashy, but it’s super battery-friendly and readable outdoors.

Everyday Example:

Like the display on a digital sports watch — basic but dependable in the sun.
