Most people's understanding of mobile phone screens is still based on basic parameters such as resolution, refresh rate, and brightness. Now mobile phone manufacturers will use words like E4 and E6 when promoting screens. At this time, many people probably don't understand. What exactly do E4 and E6 refer to here? What's the difference between them? What are the differences in screen quality between them?
For this reason, the editor has compiled some information and made a simple analysis and comparison for everyone!
First of all, E4 and E6 refer to the screen luminescent substrate. Different screen luminescent substrates will change the characteristics of the screen, such as differences in brightness, power consumption, color gamut, etc. So, does it mean that the higher the number after the E, the better the overall quality of the screen? This point actually depends on the optimization of the screen by the mobile phone manufacturer.
Take E4 and E6 materials as an example. The main difference between them is brightness and power consumption. The performance of other parameters are very similar. And the difference between brightness and power consumption is not obvious. For example, the highest global brightness of E4 is 800nit and the highest local brightness is 1200nit, while the corresponding brightness of E6 is 1200nit and 1800nit. There is an overall gap. But there is one factor to consider here, and that is the microprism of the E6. After adding the microprism, the brightness of the E6 will become higher, but the clarity and viewing angle will be reduced. Therefore, this is a dilemma.
In addition, it is the power consumption. The power consumption of the E6 screen will be 20% lower than that of the E4 screen. However, in actual applications, the 20% power consumption is actually difficult to detect, because everyone uses different scenarios, and no one will maintain the highest brightness for a long time. Therefore, the screen power consumption gap still depends on the user's situation.
As for other aspects, the E6 and E4 screens are almost consistent in parameters such as color gamut, contrast, color depth, and transparency. And if E6 chooses to be used with microprisms, the screen clarity may not be as good as E4. Therefore, when mobile phone manufacturers claim that they have adopted the latest E6 screen, we as consumers still need to take a closer look. Not all E6s will perform better than E4. Since E4 has been released for a long time, mobile phone manufacturers have become more complete and mature in its optimization.
Therefore, a mobile phone equipped with an E4 screen may not be inferior to an E6 mobile phone in terms of actual viewing experience. The E6 screen has no obvious advantage over the E4 screen. The actual difference in look and feel may still depend on the optimization of major mobile phone manufacturers. Therefore, when purchasing a mobile phone, it is more appropriate to try to actually experience the look and feel of the screen and then make a decision based on your own experience.
