Difference between LCD and LED

In the modern era, there are many innovative advances specially seen in LCD (liquid crystal display) and LED (light emitting diode) which has upgraded TV seeing among people. In fact, a LED is also a LCD however LED has backlighting. To avoid confusion among people for buying a product, market decided to name them LED TVs.

LCD and LED have outstanding quality of picture with great sound stock and capacity to join numerous external devices for example, DVD players and game consoles.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

A LCD can be define as a smooth board with the electronic visuals display which  work through the light that have the quality of liquid crystal. LCDs are super-thin shows that are utilized as a part of tablet phone and level board screens. Smaller LCDs can be utilized as a part of handheld TVs, PDAs, and compact computer game gadgets.

Light Emitting Diode (LED)

A LED is an electronic gadget that discharges light when an electrical current is gone through it. Early LEDs delivered just red light, however present day LEDs can create a few distinct colors, i.e. green, red, and blue (RGB) light. Latest advances in LED innovation have made it feasible for LEDs to create white light also.

LCD VS LED

There are some important differences which exist among LCD and LED are explained as follows:

  • Screen:

The main difference between LCD and LED is of screen thickness. LED have thinner screen as compare to LCD.

  • Color Quality:

LED TVs have excellent color quality as compare to LCD. LCD has very good color quality but best models can give the same quality as LED.

  • Life Span:

The expected life span of LED TVs is more than thirty years if usage is about for eight hours but it is twenty years for LCD if usage hours remain same.

  • Price:

While LED TVs are the modern technology so its price is quite high as compare to LCD. As LCD’s are available in smaller screens so its price is reasonable.

  • Viewing Angles:

For LED’s viewing angles is very good and wider contrast to LCD’s. Comparatively viewing angles for LCD’s ranges from good to very good.

  • Dynamic Contrast:

For LED’s the ratio of dynamic contrast can exceed from 1,000,000:1 whereas this ratio for LCD’s can be exceed 150,000:1.

  • Power Consumption:

For LED’s less power consumption is there and it is most efficient in consumption whereas LCD’s use more power and they are more efficient in usage of power.

  • Environmental Impact:

LCD’s have more environmental impact on disposal as compare to LED’s which have lowest impact on environment when disposed.

Conclusion 

From the above differences we can say that LED’s are modern technology and shows a better picture as compare to LCD’s.
