AMOLED

Vibrant phone screen

AMOLED stands for Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode, a display technology used in smartphones, tablets, and televisions.

Unlike LCD screens that require backlighting, each pixel in an AMOLED display produces its own light, enabling true blacks, high contrast, and thinner screens.

The technology allows for flexible and curved displays: The phone's AMOLED screen makes videos look incredible.
