Organic Light Emitting Diode, commonly known as OLED, is today one of the most commonly used displays in smartphones.

These layers are placed between two glass plates, one is called a seal and the other a substrate. When you supply the electric pulse, is the two conducting layers, electro-luminescent light is created straight away from the organic material placed between. The intensity and hues can change based on the electric pulse.

AMOLED

AMOLED stands for Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode and is the latest iteration of OLED technology that is employed in smartphones.

This technology has an advantage over other displays as it allows us to save power. You get outstanding color vibrancy and higher brightness in comparison to LCD panels. As a bonus, it is light in weight and supports long battery life. However, AMOLED displays have one disadvantage that they render oversaturated colours, at times.

Super AMOLED

Super AMOLED displays originate from a technology that is exclusively owned by Samsung electronics. The company offers licenses to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to use this technology while manufacturing the displays of their smartphones. AMOLED displays are enhancements to capacitive touchscreens. Instead of using the touch-sensitive sensors as a separate sheet, Super AMOLED displays employ them on the display itself. As a result, the width significantly reduces making them the thinnest display available in the market.
