— an abbreviation for Plane-to-Line Switching, a modification of IPS technology (see the relevant paragraph), created to eliminate a number of shortcomings of the IPS, in particular the high cost. Improvements have also been made to viewing angles and brightness, while maintaining the main advantage of IPS — high colour reproduction quality. Also, PLS panels are considered more suitable for mobile phones with high-definition (HD) screens than AMOLED.
