Replace Phone LCD to OLED??

[Atharva Phadke]

Can we replace a smartphone's IPS LCD display with an OLED display provided that the dimensions and The resolution are the same?

[themctipers]

probably not because the internal connector for the screen is going to be different, and the placement of the ribbon cable..

Maybe, but it is not recomended.

But if you do do it, and the the phone does not officially support the OLED diplay, there is five posible outputs I can forsee
1) The wiring between the two screens are significantly diffrent so that everything breakes/blows up/released their magic blue smoke and dies

2) The wiring is diffrent and it doesn't work but your phones a soilder and powers through letting you swap back to your old screen
3) The wirings are diffrent but not massively so it works but it looks worse or operation is not as expected and it's not a good experience and you wish you had your old LCD back

4) The Wirings are diffrent but to an extent that the experience is the same as the LCD so nothing is gained
5) The wiring and software support the new OLED and you now have an OLED phone which works perfectly.

 

1 or 2 is the most likely. And all of this is assuming that the data/power connectors are the same, the impedance of the new screen is similar enough not to cause over current, you can find a screen which is has the same mounting points and is the same size.

 

TL:DR Don't do it

I am not changing it. Just gave a thought about it

Should you not be focusing on your magnetism lecture just now ;)

I assumed that, but yea the main problem here is because no ones tried it (as fast as I know) and there isn't massive public details about OLED, and because I can't be fucekd reading it all to work out how everything works etc. And because each phone drivers will be diffrent there is just too many unknowns to know for certain

[cluelessgenius]

every monitor has a driver board with all the logic on it. so on a pc scren thats where you plugin your displayport and it is also what gereates the osd and drives the display all together. so for example i did this once for a project of mine.  you can get a notebook replacement screen. thos by default have some sort of (most often propriatary) ribbon connector. you can buy controller boards for most of them from china on ebay BUT you need to tell them the exact modell so they can configure it to fit that specific modell. 

 

i imagine on the phone its gonna be the same where the screen is connected via ribbon cable and the controller is on the logic board.

so if you replace the screen the pinout of the bale needs to be the same OR youd need to replace the controller as well but then idk how it interfaces to the rest of the chips and i dont even think you could get that somewhere sooo no?
