AMOLED is the Way to Go
The word “AMOLED” gets thrown around a lot these days with the series of upcoming Samsung devices and the Zune HD preped with that display. What exactly is an AMOLED? It’s an acronomy for active-matrix organic light-emitting diode and it is a step forward from OLED with an aim of achieving lower and lower-cost screen display.
How does it work?
“An active-matrix OLED (AMOLED) display consists of OLED pixels that have been deposited or integrated onto a thin film transistor (TFT) array to form a matrix of pixels that illuminate light upon electrical activation, which functions as a series of switches to control the current flowing to each of the pixels. The TFT array continuously controls the current that flows to the pixels, signaling to each pixel how brightly to shine.” – Wikipedia
In plain English? Without using backlight to illuminate, the color is better and richer to display the contents on the device.
Advantages
- Very thin and lighter weight
- Greatly minimized propensity for breakage
- Lower-power, highly rugged with superior image quality, and low cost compared to the current LCD displays
- Due to their inherent ruggedness, allow a unique form factor of conformability and rollability during use, transportation and storage.
