AMOLED is a type OLED diode that provides an increased refresh rate and has reduced power consumption, making it particularly suitable for portable devices.
AMOLED stands for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode.
Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) utilize a specific type of
thin-film-display technology in which organic compounds form the
electroluminescent material and active matrix refers to the technology
behind the addressing of pixels.
The AMOLED display has higher quality than regular OLEDs since it has an additional layer of TTs and uses backplane technologies. When compared to OLED screens, AMOLED displays are far more flexible. As a result, they are substantially more expensive than an OLED display.
When
compared with a regular LCD display an AMOLED display consumes
less power, provides more vivid picture quality, and renders faster motion
response as compared to other display technologies such as LCD.

AMOLED was developed in 2006.
Samsung SDI was one of the main
investors in the technology, although many other display companies were also developing
it. One of the earliest consumer electronics products with an AMOLED
display was the BenQ-SiemensS88 mobile
handset. Samsung Electronics were
the early adopters of this technology on their smartphone.
Apple refer their AMOLED
displays as ‘’Super Retina HD’’ while Samsung refers to theirs as ‘’Super
AMOLED’’. Motorola, HTC, Google and all other device makers market theirs
in different ways even though most of their screens are created by Samsung,
which controls about 98% of the AMOLED display market.
Super AMOLED is an AMOLED display that has an integrated touch function: Instead of having another layer that recognizes touch on the top of the display, the touch layer is integrated into the screen itself.
Super
AMOLED provides
an exceptional viewing experience for users. It offers a wide range of colours
with an incredible degree of colour clarity which translates into far greater
resolution.
Some benefits
of AMOLED displays include:
- · More
colours and truer colour reproduction, with direct, pixel-by-pixel illumination
control
- · Greater
contrast ratios
- · Less
energy drains
- · Thinner,
lighter construction, with no traditional LCD panel or back lighting
- · Wider
viewing angles
Some
disadvantages of AMOLED displays include:
- · Higher
cost
- · Shorter
lifespan
- · Possible
burn-in
With their
improved colour accuracy and brightness, it’s easy to see why these displays
are rapidly moving beyond the domain of AMOLED phones alone and into the
potentially bigger laptop and PC monitor markets.
