IPS (In-plane Switching) is a technology used in LCDs (Liquid Crystal Displays) for flat panel displays. IPS displays have a few advantages over older displays, such as TN (Twisted Nematic) displays, and are slowly becoming more and more popular, especially for gaming. But how do they work, and why are they better than TN panels?
IPS panels work a little differently from TN panels. In a TN panel, the liquid crystals are “twisted” to let light through them, which causes the image to appear on the screen. In an IPS panel, the liquid crystals are aligned in a different way, which allows them to move more freely and results in a clearer image.
This difference in alignment is what allows IPS panels to have better color accuracy and wider viewing angles than TN panels. With a TN panel, the liquid crystals are only able to let a certain amount of light through them, which can result in a washed-out or faded image. With an IPS panel, the liquid crystals are able to let more light through them, which results in a brighter and more vibrant image.
