What does AMOLED screen mean?
A Quick Primer on OLED and AMOLED
Pros:
- Wide viewing angles
- Support for a large range of color
- Great display of black
- Long battery life if using darker colors
Cons:
- Oversaturated images
- Shortened battery life when displaying vibrant colors
AMOLED vs. IPS LCD
The benefits of AMOLED
Do you want your devices to use AMOLED displays?
Super-AMOLED vs. AMOLED
Less power needs to be supplied to a Super-AMOLED screen because it doesn’t generate as much heat as older screen technologies. This is due, in part, to the fact that pixels are actually turned off and therefore not emitting light/using power when displaying black.The screen is more sensitive to touch.
Light reflection is reduced because there aren’t as many layers, which makes reading outdoors in bright light easier.A higher refresh rate helps speed up the response time.
What is the difference between OLED and AMOLED?
Is AMOLED better than LCD?
AMOLED displays can light up or turn off each of their pixels independently, and that means that they can offer much better and more natural colors than LCD screens. LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screens do not light up their pixels independently: they use a backlight and a panel of pixels that actually block the white light behind them to make colors. This technology cannot offer the same natural colors as AMOLED can.
Also because of the different way they display colors, AMOLED and LCD screens are not the same when it comes to the level of brightness they can offer. Each of the pixels on an AMOLED display has its own tiny light source, while LCD have backlights that are usually provided by lamps behind the display. Thus, LCD screens tend to offer higher brightness levels than AMOLED displays.
Consequence of AMOLED and LCD
Another consequence of the way AMOLED and LCD screens light their pixels, is that AMOLED offers true blacks (by turning off pixels independently), while LCD offers cleaner whites (because it has a stronger backlight).
When talking about the use of AMOLED or LCD on a screen powered by a battery, power consumption is an issue. Because AMOLED can completely turn off pixels independently, you might assume that it is more power efficient than LCD. However, that depends on how you use your device. AMOLED displays need less power than LCD screens when the images they display do not have much white but consume more power when they display a lot of white. When there are lots of bright colors to be displayed, AMOLED needs more power to turn on its pixels. On the other hand, LCDs need the same constant amount of power regardless of the type of images they display, because their backlight is always on.
AMOLED screens have an organic component in their pixels, while LCDs do not. That means that the lifespan of AMOLED screens tends to be lower than that of LCDs.Because OLED technology is pricey, AMOLED displays are more expensive to manufacture than LCDs.
NOTE;
So i am using and like only super Amoled and i was a big samsung fan so i know the quality of the display and its color is also very unique so guys no worry just select the AMOLED display its really better than LCD and IPS.
