Flexview displays include display panels that are based on an enhanced IPS technology, patented by Boe-Hydis, that is also referred to as Flexview/IPS or FFS. These displays provide wider viewing angles and higher contrast - and, being IPS panels, would probably also feature shorter response times.

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.

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.

TFT display

TFT stands for Thin-Film Transistor

Furthermore, IBM and Lenovo branded certain types of displays under such names as Flexview, MaxBright and UltraLight TFT. See below for more information on their special characteristics.

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.
