Difference between iPhone LCD Screens INCELL, Soft OLED and Hard OLED

There are four types of iPhone LCD Screens avilable in the market.
1. Original / OEM
2. Soft OLED
3. Hard OLED
4. Incell (Budget option)
1. ORIGINAL / OEM
These screens are original from Apple or original with refurbished touch screen.
2. SOFT OLED
Soft OLEDs are made of a flexible plastic substrate, which is why they last longer than Hard OLEDs. They are much more resistant to impact.
Plastic is also a better thermal insulator than glass. These various factors mean that a soft OLED will tend to age (develop burn-in) more rapidly than a similar hard OLED.
Remember original Apple screen is Hard OLED. Spoft OLED is 1:1 same size as original. SOFT OLED is more resillent to breakage. Its more expensive
than HARD OLED.
3. HARD OLED
Hard OLEDs are manufactured using a glass substrate. it is more physically fragile and easy to break. Due to the design of the phones and material limitations of the hard OLED, there is a slightly larger border between the bottom of the display and the bottom of the frame.
Its Lower-priced option, Reliable manufacturing process, Somewhat resistant to screen burn-in.
4. INCELL
TFT In-cell displays are revolutionary in the sense that they combine a digitizer, use touch input, and integrate an LCD screen into a single-layer display. Some reports also suggest that in-cell technology displays provide better resolution compared to standard LCD screens.
In-cell technology may also be called in-cell touch technology. The term in-cell display emerged in 2012 in reports that Apple's successor to the iPhone 4S would include this new technology, thus reducing the thickness of the screen.
Less advanced touchscreen devices, including many smartphones and tablets, tend to have two separate display layers that need to be combined internally. The digitizer is used for touch sensitivity while the LCD screen displays the on-screen images. In-cell display technology combines these layers into a single layer, allowing devices to be thinner and lighter.
In-cell screens are stable screens, because they are a single element rather than separate glued components. In addition, no raster lines are visible, and the image resolution is higher than with standard LCD screens. Brightness is not as high as OLED Screens but price wise this is a cheaper option.
