Smartphone displays may all look the same to some users. The only drawback is that it doesn't reproduce color as faithful and accurate as other displays that don't go for this approach. This is the same active matrix (AM) technology used in AMOLED displays which we'll discuss later on. It also consumes less power than both the TFT and IPS displays which is a good thing, but the issue here is that it shows lower image quality and slower response time than TFT panels. There's a detailed scientific process that involves using highly transmissive liquid crystals but basically, because of this unique method from the company, IPS Neo displays give off a higher contrast with flexible viewing angles. This implementation also makes it possible to mass produce these panels which was previously thought to be difficult. The company claims that Super PLS is 'about 100%' better when talking about viewing angles -- putting it in the league of AMOLED displays. Additionally, Super PLS displays can support up to WXGA resolution (1280 x 800) and also costs less to produce (about 15%) than the IPS panels of LG. This is possible since OLED displays are always off by default unlike LCD panels that are always back-lit.
