OLED
Self-illuminating pixel array
OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode, a display technology where each pixel produces its own light.
Unlike LCD screens that require backlighting, OLED pixels can turn completely off, producing true blacks and exceptional contrast.
The technology appears in high-end televisions and smartphone screens: The new phone has an OLED display.
OLED panels are thinner and more energy-efficient but can suffer from burn-in with static images.
