As i notice we can get a replacement t610 screen from ebay. So, no doubt we also can get z600 screen on later day. Despite the warranty issue (only one few months less anyway), will it be possible to fit Z600 screen on t610?
Just wondering!!!

they said z600 uses TFD instead of TFT.  |

very similar to TFT. SE calls TFD the mobile phone version of TFT
TFT is thin film transistor
TFD is thin film diode

If all the hardware requiered for running the screen is contained in the screen, and the power consumtion and connectors match, it could be theoretically possible, though I doubt it.

actually, i think there IS a difference between thin film transistor and thin film diode.
over here in sg, our traffic lights used to be just coloured lights, which were not very visible in sunlight. soon, the government replaced all of those with diodes (ie, the lights are made up of small little diodes), making it very visible in both sunlight and at night.
i assume thin film diode works in the same concept. |

yes GoH I believe you are right! And what a big step forward on  phone screens this will be!!

"Color LCDs come in many types. STN, TFT, and TFD are several common technologies used. STN features low power consumption and low cost, at the expense of image quality. TFT features excellent image quality and response time, but is expensive and consumes more power. TFD combines the best of both."

then i guess you cant replace a T610 screen with that of a Z600's. |

I assume you did not have knowledge about Electronics and didn't know what is actually a "diode".
A diode is a simple 2-pin semiconductor and have polarity different. A diode is "open-circuit" (opened) initially, when the potentiate different across it reached a saturation point, it will then "close-circuit" (shorted) and allow current to pass through. Therefore, a diode act like an electronics switch.
The traffic light in singapore is using component known as "Light Emitting Diode (LED)", which will emit light when it is "close-circuit".
A Transistor is a more complex component which operates in 3-pin. It is similar to a two diodes with one of each diode's leg shorted together.
Therefore a transistor can use for much complex roles rather than only electronics switch.
So, "Thin film Transistor (TFT)" should be a better choice to "Thin film Diode (TFD)".

ranslating this knowledge to the subject of cell phone screens, what would the difference be?? In visibility, speed, light etc?

TFD screens are supposed to be much brighter then TFT, especially in daylight..

OK... then I suspect we're all happy, right?

TFT advantage
============
- Brighter.
- Sharper.
TFD advantage
============
- Lower power consumption.
