IPS vs. WOLED
Comparing 2 standards across 8 specifications. 8 key differences identified.
Comparing:
IPS
WOLED
IPS (In-Plane Switching) panels offer the widest viewing angles of the common LCD types -- 178°/178° is standard -- and the most consistent color, making them the default for color-critical monitors and most phone LCDs, at a contrast ratio similar to TN's.
WOLED is LG Display's OLED TV technology, using white-emitting OLED subpixels combined with red, green, blue, and white color filters (WRGB) rather than individually colored OLED subpixels. LG launched the first WOLED TV, a 55-inch model, in 2013, and remains the primary manufacturer of large-panel WOLED, supplying other brands including Sony.
