TFT technologies found in ThinkPads

Flexview (IPS)

The Flexview LCD displays used on select IBM/Lenovo models use the IPS (In-Plane Switching) technology, which provide wide viewing angles (the display can literally be seen from all angles with no color distortions and minimal loss of contrast), better contrast (making the whites brighter and the blacks darker) and richer colors overall than the regular laptop screens.

FFS (IPS)

The FFS (Fringe Field Switching) technology is patented by BOE-Hydis LCD manufacturing company and extends conventional IPS technology by offering even wider viewing angles (full 180 degrees are claimed) and better transmittance.

9. sRGB Mode is a method applied in some BOE-Hydis TFTs to re-map colors from the native (non-calibrated) TFT color space into a color space within a scaled down sRGB color triangle, thus with sides parallel to the sRGB color triangle. This means that the color gamut is not 72% of NTSC like normal sRGB, but it is still in the range of 45-55%. By sRGB mode one gains the benefit of a completely calibrated LCD (in sRGB terms) within the possible color gamut the color filters allow it to display.
