10 Display Types That Light Up Smartphone Screens

#6 OLED

OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) is a light emitting diode (LED) in which the layer that emits light is made of organic compounds. An OLED screen does not require any form of backlight, thus while reducing power consumption it is also capable of displaying deep black levels unlike LCDs. Some of the advantages of OLED displays are vivid color, wider viewing angles, improved brightness and better power efficiency.

#5 AMOLED

AMOLED is a variant of OLED and stands for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode. Unlike LCDs AMOLED screens do not require any backlight as each produces its own light, this also reduces the thickness of the devices. Similar to OLED, AMOLEDs offer high contract ratio and in addition to that these also have higher refresh rates and are more power efficient.

#4 Super AMOLED

This is a derived form of AMOLED, which has a different manufacturing process. The capacitive layer responsible for detecting touch is intergraded into the screen itself and not as a layer afterwards. The other advantage it offers over the earlier AMOLED display includes increased brightness, lower sunlight reflection and better power efficiency.
