It is the Customer/s decision if they wish for Aftermarket / INCELL or other quality Screen on there device.

Not sure of the meaning types of the different manufactured Screen Type when choosing the one for you? Here are the Meanings of each Screen Type Manufactured:

Aftermarket

Aftermarket parts are replacement parts that are not made by the original equipment manufacturer. Aftermarket parts are used to replace damaged parts in automobiles and other equipment, but their use may alter the coverage of an insured item.

OEM

An OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part is a part built by the same company that built the original product for the phone maker. It is the exact same part that is on your phone, except it does not have the manufacturer's logo.

OLED

OLED stands for Organic Light-Emitting Diodes. OLED displays are common in hand held devices and wearables, but are also used in TVs and monitors. There are many variations of OLED screens, all with their own acronym (more on this later). 

In OLED screens, individual pixels are hit with electricity. In response, each pixel emits both light and color. A pixel that isn’t stimulated by electricity is unlit, which creates the color black. The combination of lit and unlit pixels creates the images you see.

LCD

LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display—it’s more common in larger displays like TVs and computer monitors. 

With LCD screens, LED lights backlight the entire display. Images are created when the backlight is filtered through the liquid crystal, which blocks some of the light.  

Because of the backlighting, LCD screens have a tendency to be brighter overall.

AMOLED 

stands for Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (regular OLED is considered passive). In AMOLED screens, each pixel can be controlled individually, which provides even sharper images. 

POLED 

screens are OLED displays that are covered in polymer plastic (different from OLED TVs, which are usually covered by glass). The polymer cover is what provides a lighter weight for tablets and flexibility to smartphones with foldable screens. 

QLED (Quantum Light-Emitting Diode) 

is an upgraded version of LCD/LED technology. It’s clearer than your average LCD display, but it’s not as bright or clear as OLED.
