OLED screen

Self-illuminating display technology

An OLED screen is a display that uses organic compounds which emit light when electric current passes through them.

Unlike LCD screens, OLED pixels produce their own light, eliminating the need for a backlight.

This allows for thinner devices, deeper blacks, and more vibrant colors: The new phone has a gorgeous OLED screen.

OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode.
