| has gloss | eng: A super-twisted nematic display (STN) is a type of monochrome passive matrix liquid crystal display (LCD). STN displays provide more contrast than twisted nematic (TN) displays by twisting the molecules from 180 to 270 degrees. STN LCDs require less power and are less expensive to manufacture than TFT LCDs, another popular type of LCD that has largely superseded STN for mainstream laptops. However, STN displays typically suffer from lower image quality and slower response time than TFT displays. STN displays are used in some inexpensive mobile phones and informational screens of some digital products. In early 90s they had been used in some portable computers such as Amstrads PPC512 and PPC640. |
