skärmaterial

Skärmaterial refers to the substances or components used to create screens, particularly in electronic devices like smartphones, tablets, computers, and televisions. The primary function of a screen is to display visual information, and the choice of skärmaterial significantly impacts the display's quality, performance, and durability.

Commonly used skärmaterial include various types of glass, such as strengthened glass (like Corning's Gorilla Glass) or sapphire crystal, which provide scratch resistance and protection. For the display panel itself, liquid crystals (LCD) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) are prevalent technologies. LCD screens use a backlight to illuminate pixels, while OLED screens use organic compounds that emit light when an electric current is applied, offering advantages in contrast and color reproduction.

Other materials involved in screen construction can include polarizing filters, color filters, touch-sensitive layers (often made of indium tin oxide or ITO), and protective coatings. The ongoing development in skärmaterial aims to improve brightness, color accuracy, energy efficiency, refresh rates, and resilience against physical damage, all while potentially reducing manufacturing costs.
