AMOLED and OLED have come out on the scene as the leading technologies in the display space these days given the fact that they are able to provide very impressive pictures while being energy efficient. However, there are nuances that differentiate between the two. Let’s take a closer look into the details of these technologies.

What is an OLED?

In short, the technology is referred to as OLED, which stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode. The pixel lighting technology is unique in AMOLED as it does not require a backlight, so every pixel in the display is capable of lighting up itself. This results in even deeper blacks, even higher contrast ratios and higher viewing angles than in standard LCD displays, which are not as powerful.

What is an AMOLED?

One of the major types of OLED displays is AMOLED, which is short for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode. It Uses a thin film transistor for each pixel making it possible to achieve faster response and sharper images. Because of this, AMOLED displays are great for smartphones and many devices that people use frequently.
