Which display technology, consisting of liquid crystals illuminated by an LED backlight, remains the predominant screen type found in mainstream laptop computers as of 2025?
Most laptops still ship with LED-backlit liquid-crystal displays (LCDs). The mature manufacturing process keeps costs low, and variants such as IPS panels provide good color accuracy and wide viewing angles. OLED panels and emerging Mini-LED or MicroLED solutions appear in some premium models, but they account for a small share of total laptop shipments due to higher cost and, in the case of OLED, concerns like burn-in.
