Moths to the Flame, Self-Destruction.
The LCD screen has already become an obsolete technology in smartphones, and manufacturers have long abandoned it. Now, surprisingly, some netizens have taken the lead, and a large group of LCD smartphone users have initiated a self-rescue signature campaign for LCD.
This is because some individuals with sensitive eyes cannot adapt to the flickering of current mainstream smartphone screens, suffering from dry eyes, astigmatism, and other symptoms; they can only use older LCD smartphones.
These netizens are now collecting signatures from LCD users across various QQ groups, Bilibili, and Tieba. In less than five days (by August 17), over 2000 users of LCD smartphones had gathered in a QQ group, along with more than 3600 completed surveys. They plan to petition smartphone manufacturers, hoping they can produce a high-performance LCD smartphone.
However, there are many disadvantages to using LCD screens in smartphones, such as greater thickness, which affects the slim design of the device. They also consume more power, leading to significant battery life pressure. The response speed is slower, making motion blur more likely. These are the reasons manufacturers have abandoned LCD screens.
Therefore, LCD screens are no longer suitable for smartphones. Even if they are forcibly launched, it will be difficult for them to find a place in the market. This approach is akin to “moths to the flame, self-destruction.”
OLED screens, which initially caused eye strain, have undergone continuous optimization and are now increasingly eye-friendly. By August 2025, RGB OLED will officially debut, representing a very advanced type of OLED screen with excellent eye protection, comparable to LCD screens.
Since RGB OLED does not require color filters, it reduces light loss and color deviation during the filtering process, resulting in higher purity of red, green, and blue colors, making it suitable for color-critical scenarios. The arrangement of the pixels can directly use the same layout as LCD screens, achieving excellent eye protection without the flickering issues of previous OLED screens.
LCD smartphones have already been abandoned by manufacturers, while OLED screens continue to evolve, making eye protection no longer a concern. Once RGB OLED screens are widely adopted, eye protection will no longer be an issue.
