An Introduction to Super-Vertical Alignment (SVA) Displays
Different types of display devices are powered by different technologies. Whether you're planning to buy a computer monitor, a TV, a touchscreen or a human machine interface (HMI), you'll need to consider the display technology. Most display devices, of course, feature liquid-crystal display (LCD). There are different forms of LCD technology, however, one of which is super vertical alignment (SVA). To learn more about SVA displays and how they work, keep reading.

What Is an SVA Display?
An SVA display is a type of display device that's powered by SVA technology. As previously mentioned, it's a form of LCD technology. LCD technologies are defined by their use of liquid pixels. They don't use solid pixels. Rather, LCDs feature a layer of liquid pixels.
Many LCDs use a vertical alignment technology. SVA refers to a specific type of vertical alignment technology. It was pioneered by Samsung as an upgrade to standard vertical alignment technologies. With SVA, the liquid pixels are arranged in a wide variety of directions - more so than the liquid pixels in standard vertical alignment technologies.
Advantages of SVA Displays
One of the main advantages of SVA displays is a wider viewing angle. The viewing angle of a display device refers to the angle at which you can see the images displayed on the screen. You can always see the images when standing directly in front of a display device. As you move to the side, though, the images may seem to disappear out of sight. SVA displays have a wider viewing angle than other types of LCDs, including those with standard vertical alignment technology.
