The digital media is buzzing with the introduction of a new form of technology every week. There are LED’s, QLED’s, SLED and OLED’s. These are all different types of display technologies used in television screens to enhance a viewer’s experience. Let’s get a bit deeper into these.
LEDs
LED also known as Light Emitting Diodes are one of the most affordable options out there. These are more accurately called backlit LCD technology; implying that they require a constant backlight. This can hinder the display of black on the screen.
SLEDs
Next up are SLED which stands for Super Luminescent Diodes. These are considered as an improved version of the LED television. RealMe launched the world’s first SLED television in October 2020. They use and RGB backlight and cut down on the blue light emissions.
QLEDs
QLED is the abbreviated version of Quantum dot LED which makes use of quantum dots to display colours. When light falls on a particular quantum dot, it emits a certain colour. They are found to be much brighter and show colours than any other television display screen.
Difference between the three
| QLED | SLED | LED |
| Best picture quality | Better than LED, worse off than QLED | Minimum quality |
| Slow Response Time | Slow Response Time | Slow Response Time |
| Mediocre Contrast with Local dimming | Mediocre Contrast | |
| High Brightness | Mediocre Brightness | Mediocre Brightness |
| Ranges from affordable to expensive | Affordable | Very affordable |
