Compared with LCD displays that require backlighting, self-luminous OLEDs have higher viewing angles, brightness, and contrast ratios, low voltage requirements, high power-saving efficiency, fast response, light and thin characteristics, and are regarded as the most potential for development. Display technology. However, the cost of large-size OLEDs has always been very high, so it was difficult to popularize on laptop platforms before.
