A p2wpkh (a type of segwit output) is as follows
Code:
OP_0 <20 byte hash>

op_true is used for anyone can spend.. and valid to be relayed and valid/accepted into blocks
currently op_0 does nothing.. so would get rejected when relayed but accepted(blindly ignored) in blocks

however after segwit is released op_0 can be treated similarly to op_true by upgraded nodes. but still rejected at relay and blindly ignored in blocks by older nodes.

there is a difference
