Displays

A great variety of displays can be found in ThinkPads, ranging from monochrome displays in the early models to full color TFT displays in the latest ones. This page gives an overview over the different types and which models feature them.

STN displays

STN stands for Super-Twisted Nematic display

Different variations of STN displays have been used in early ThinkPad models:

• STN Monochrome
• STN Color
• DSTN (Dual-scan STN)
• FRSTN (Fast Response STN)

For more information on STN, have a look at the following articles:

• Wikipedia article on STN Displays
• Wikipedia article on DSTN Displays

HPA color display

HPA stands for High-Performance Addressing

TFT color display

TFT stands for Thin-Film Transistor
