AMOLED and OLED displays: What’s the difference?
What is OLED? OLED is short for organic light-emitting diode, and true to the name, this display technology utilizes organic materials to light a screen. OLED displays are innately self-emitting. That means every single pixel emits its own light. The result: superior contrast, precise control, and quicker response times compared to LCDs. How does OLED work? At its core, OLED display technology comprises two conductors. Sandwiched between them is a stack of organic materials, all carbon-based. When an electric current passes through, the organic layer gets “excited”. Then, it emits light as it returns to its ground state. What makes OLED technology a worthwhile investment? There’s a reason OLED is such a talked-about screen technology. Several of them, actually. True blacks : The beauty of OLED is that it’s possible to control pixels individually. When turned off completely, they yield perfect levels of black. Ultra-thin and light : Because...
