What is AMOLED display?
AMOLED is a display technology and stands for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diodes. It is a type of OLED display and is used in smartphones etc. In contrast to the conventional LED-LCD displays, AMOLED comes with many benefits:
- More colors and truer color reproduction, with direct, pixel-by-pixel illumination control
- Greater contrast ratios (i.e., difference between the lightest and darkest parts of the screen)
- Less energy drain, especially when displaying dark scenes like those common in PC games
- Thinner, lighter construction, with no traditional LCD panel or (in some models) back-lighting
- Wider viewing angles (there’s no LCD “blocking” certain light, which tends to limit side views).
Disadvantages
- Higher cost,
- Shorter lifespan,
- Possible burn-in.
