AMOLED stands for Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode. It is a type of display technology that uses organic compounds to produce light when an electric current is applied. An AMOLED display consists of an active matrix of OLED pixels generating light upon electrical activation that have been deposited or integrated onto a thin-film transistor (TFT) array, which functions as a series of switches to control the current flowing to each individual pixel
. The main difference between AMOLED and OLED is that an AMOLED display contains thin strips of thin-film transistors (TFT) behind each pixel, which allows for faster pixel activation and better energy architecture within the monitor
. AMOLED displays are popular because they offer several advantages over other types of displays, such as better contrast ratios, deeper blacks, and vibrant colors. However, they can suffer from burn-in if static images are displayed for long periods of time, and they tend to be more expensive than LCD displays
