Custom Graphic LCD Display FSTN 320x240 Lcd Module Industrial LCD

How to choose among TN/STN/FSTN display?

TN [Twisted Nematic]: very cheap and fast response. But the view angle (5:1 to 10:1) is quite limited (Usually from above or below), the contrast is also lower compared with other types of display . Normally black on gray or blue on gray display.

Typical Applications: calculators, simple industrial devices, low-cost handheld gadgets.

STN [Super Twisted Nematic]: Price a little higher than TN. Better viewing angle and contrast (8:1 to 15:1) than TN. But the response is slower than TN. You can choose positive(dark text on light background) or  negative ( light text on dark background). Support larger screen and more characters.

Typical Applications: mid-range handheld devices, some automative displays, industrial control panels. 

FSTN: [Film compensated Super Twisted Nematic]: Best contrast (20:1 to 40:1) and view angles among all 3 types. Film compensation layer corrects color distortion in STN. So if you need more professional look display, readable in various angle and light, and accept higher cost [e.g., a 3.5'' 240*160 FSTN display on a 1kpcs basis, would be around 10 USD], then it would be a good choice.

Typical Applications: High-end handhelds, medical devices, sophisticated industrial equipment, portable measuring instruments.

Cost Breakdown of a graphic LCD Module

LCD Panel [LCD+Liquid Crystal] 30-40 %: size and resolution, FSTN quality, glass quality.
