Questions You May Have About Nokia Lumia 920 LCD Screens
Nokia has worked with telecommunications and information technology services for over 150 years. The company is in the cell phone market and produces several smartphone models of varying styles, colors, and sizes that include features such as wireless charging for the battery and LCD displays. If the screen on your Lumia 920 phone is cracked or no longer functioning, you may find it helpful to understand how the display works, what your replacement options are, and how to install them.
What types of Lumia 920 phone screens are there?Like many cell phones, the Lumia's LCD display is a combination of two parts:
- Glass: Is the basic part of the LCD screen that covers the phone's visual display components. This glass is how you view the images or videos on the screen.
- Digitizer: Is a thin layer of material that is overlaid on top of your cell phone's glass base. This is the part that makes the smartphone interactive and allows you to access various functions via touch.
It is possible that only one of the two layers may be damaged. You may need to replace both aspects of the LCD or just one.
How do Lumia 920 phone screens work?Understanding some of the basics of touchscreen technology may help you if you need to purchase replacement display devices. Touch screens work as follows:
- Capacitive touch screens use sensors at the corners of your Lumia's digitizer to respond to your touch.
- When you place your finger on the LCD, a small electrical charge is sent from your finger to complete a circuit on your phone.
- Your Lumia 920 registers a drop in voltage at that part of the screen and is able to activate the function you touched based on this drop.
- Some capacitive surfaces use a grid system and a chip rather than a series of sensors.
These basic guidelines may help you clean your smartphone's LCD screen:
- Turn off the screen. Doing this may make it easier to see any dirt or smudge marks on your smartphone.
- You may wish to use a microfiber cloth. These cloths are light and sensitive for use on glass to help avoid scratching the surface during cleaning. They also attract and remove dust and oil from your devices. Move the cloth in a horizontal or vertical direction several times.
- A small strip of tape may be able to grab larger dirt particles and lift them from the surface of your cell phone.
- You may wish to add a liquid protector to the front of your Nokia's LCD.
