Most customers ask us:
> “Only glass broken sir… Display is working. Why full display change?”
Let’s clear the confusion. This blog explains the difference between mobile glass and display, and which one needs replacement in your case.

🔍 1. What Is Mobile Glass?
The top transparent layer
Protects the actual display and touch panel
Made of toughened glass (Gorilla Glass, etc.)
If only the glass is broken, your phone may still: ✅ Show display properly
✅ Work smoothly on touch
👉 In such cases, glass-only replacement is possible.
---
🎨 2. What Is Mobile Display?
The actual screen inside the phone
Shows colors, text, videos, images
Comes in LCD, AMOLED, Super Retina (iPhone), etc.
If the display is damaged, you may notice: ❌ Black spots or dead pixels
❌ Lines or rainbow effect
❌ No light or complete blackout
👉 You need full display replacement if any of these happen.

🧠 3. What Is a Combo (Glass + Display Set)?
In some phones (especially newer models), the glass and display are fused together.
So even if only the glass breaks, you may have to change the entire combo unit.
> 📌 Example: Most iPhones, Samsung AMOLED models, and flagship phones.
