OLEDs
Self-illuminating display panels
OLEDs are organic light-emitting diodes—display technology where each pixel produces its own light, eliminating the need for backlighting.
This allows for true blacks, since pixels can turn completely off, and enables thinner, more flexible screens.
OLED screens appear in high-end televisions and smartphones: The new phone has an OLED display.
