 | The TFTs are the screens with an active matrix (brighter screen, faster response) and the TFDs are the newer TFTs.So the TFD is better but i don't know if there r phones with screens like that.Maybe new Samsungs.

 | "After additional digging this is what I found. 
 In dark conditions the brightness of TFT and TFD is aproximatly the same
 
 In light conditions there will be differences between different types TFT/TFD screens.
 TFD will generally be able to perform better in bright light conditions due to the increased reflectivity which can be achieved because the need for backlight is diminished/gone.
 
 For example, Epson TFD screen will be much brighter in light conditions then TFT because there is no backlight, and thus the screen reflectivity is 50%-60% as opposed to 20%-30%. "
 
 This si what Wrath tells later and that's what i was tellin' u. TFD is better. And i know there r TFD screen-phones ..and i'll poste em as fast as i find em.

 | TFD's are a little brighter and consume less power. they were specifically designed for mobile phones. Z600 is one example of a TFD screen. |

 | STN is a Super Twisted Nematic screen. its a passive matrix lcd screen 
 TFT stands for Thin Film Transistor and TFD stands for Thin Film Diode
