OLED display

Self-lit screen technology

An OLED display is a screen that uses organic compounds to emit light when electricity passes through them.

Unlike LCD screens, which require a backlight, each pixel in an OLED display produces its own light, enabling deeper blacks, higher contrast, and thinner panels.

The technology dominates premium smartphones and televisions: The new phone has a gorgeous OLED display.
