IGZO is an acronym for Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide and it's actually a different type of semiconductor found in the TFT backplane; it's not a different panel technology altogether.
In comparison to standard aSi-TFT IPS displays, an IGZO-TFT IPS display greatly saves on power consumption, while giving equally accurate and vibrant colors. However, they are much more expensive.
To clear away the confusion, IGZO is not a type of panel but a different type of a transistor in the TFT (thin-film-transistor) backplane. Therefore, it can be implemented in all types of panels including TN, VA, IPS, and even OLED.
IGZO vs a-Si TFT IPS Displays
At the moment, the main advantage of IGZO is its very low power consumption. In comparison to the standard a-Si panel monitor, it is up to 80%-90% more power efficient due to the higher electron mobility, which is 20-50 times faster than that of a regular panel.
Additionally, this provides a quicker response time, better color rendition, and higher pixel density capability.
While a-Si panel monitors require more power for the backlighting of higher pixel density displays, IGZO does not – in fact, it can create even brighter images at significantly lower power consumption.
This is ideal for portable devices with high pixel density. In short, IGZO can deliver a better resolution, speed, and pixel density, no matter the size of the display.
As such, one of the prototypes included a 6-inch IPS display with a 2560×1600 resolution resulting in 498 pixels per inch!
While the difference between the IGZO-TFT and a-Si-TFT IPS panels may not be meaningful for now, especially considering the difference in the price, IGZO will certainly greatly contribute to the future development of displays.
Since it can drastically reduce power consumption and offer stunning pixel density, resolution, and speed, high-quality touch-sensitive transparent displays are getting closer and closer to reality.
