What is IPs in a flat panel monitor

IPS (In-plane switching, plane conversion) technology is the Hitachi company launched in 2001 LCD panel technology, commonly known as "Super TFT."

The advantages of the IPS panel are high visual angle, fast response and accurate color reduction, which is the high-end products in the LCD panel. And compared to the PVA panel, the use of IPS screen LCD TV dynamic definition can reach 780 lines. and static sharpness, in accordance with the 720-line HD standard requirements can still achieve high-definition. The Panel technology enhances the dynamic display of LCD TV, and can achieve better quality when watching sports events, action movies and other fast-moving programs. Compared with other types of panels, the IPS panel with the hands of a gentle uniformity is not prone to deformation of water patterns, so there is a hard screen said. When you look at the screen carefully, if you see a scaly pixel in the direction of the left side of the fish, plus a hard screen, then you can determine the IPS panel.

Features of the IPS panel

Flat-screen TV manufacturers have bright "Dynamic HD", "Intelligent Light", "Free HD Color", "full-mode high-definition digital TV" and other selling points, with the advantage of differentiation to ignite a new round of competition for market share. Samsung main push of PVA mode wide-angle technology, due to its strong capacity and stable quality control system, by the Japanese and American manufacturers widely used. At present, PVA technology is widely used in high-end liquid crystal display or LCD TV. VA class panel also belongs to the soft screen, with the hand lightly strokes will appear similar to the watermark.

And another big technology branch is commonly known as the hard screen IPS panel. The panel was previously invested in production by Philips and LG (LPL), and after the transformation of Philips, the research and development direction to medical, lighting and other fields, thereby withdrawing the IPs production line. Now basically by the LG family in solitary, and officially renamed LG Display (LGD).

The most important feature of the IPS panel is that the Poles are both on the same surface, and unlike other liquid crystal modes, the electrodes are in the upper and lower sides, three-dimensional arrangement. This technique optimizes the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules, adopts horizontal arrangement, and when confronted with external pressure, the molecular structure of the molecule sinks slightly downward, but the whole molecule is still horizontal. In the face of external forces, the rigid-screen liquid crystal molecular structure and stability is far superior to the soft screen! So it will not produce distortion and affect the color of the screen, can maximize the protection of the screen effect is not damaged. In addition, a s-ips panel is an improved type of IPs.

IPs hard screen technology LCD panel not only in the durability and ease of the cleaning has a certain advantage, but also in the functional parameters and performance indicators ahead of the VA soft screen. Response time has been the short board of LCD TV, but with the continuous progress of liquid crystal technology, LCD TV screen trailer problem in the IPS panel is well resolved. The advantage of short response time enables the IPS panel to display a clearer image in the dynamic screen. In addition, the IPS panel is also better than the VA soft screen with accurate color reduction, black performance and other features.

According to the test results, technical experts said: IPs hard screen LCD TV can be excellent performance of dynamic high-definition screen, especially suitable for motion image reproduction, no residual shadow and trailing, is to watch digital high-definition images, especially fast motion pictures, such as competitions, racing games and action movies ideal carrier. The expert group said that because IPs hard screen unique horizontal molecular structure, make it in touch without watermark, shadow and flash phenomenon, very stable, and therefore very suitable for the touch of the television and public display equipment.
