DSTN
Description
The DSTN (destrin, actin depolymerizing factor) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 20.
DSTN (double super twisted nematic), also known as dual-scan super twisted nematic or simply dual-scan, is an LCD technology where the screen is divided in half and refreshed simultaneously, resulting in a faster refresh rate than traditional passive matrix screens. It's an improvement on supertwist nematic displays, offering low power consumption but inferior sharpness and brightness compared to TFT screens. In the early 1990s to early 2000s, TFT screens were expensive and only found in high-end laptops, while DSTN screens were used in lower-end laptops. The price difference between laptops with these screens could be significant, but TFT gradually became cheaper and dominated the market. DSTN displays suffer from poor quality, with visible noise, smearing, low contrast, and slow response, making them unsuitable for movies or video games.
DSTN is also known as ACTDP, ADF, HEL32, bA462D18.2.
