What Is "OLED"

OLED is a newer display technology that creates displays that are less power hungry than existing LCD technologies. OLED displays are more efficient than LCD display because OLED pixel sites use organic materials that produces their own light, removing the needs for a backlight. Initial OLED devices were somewhat prone to performance degradation over time, which is one of the reasons they did not start replacing LCD display on a wide scale in mobile devices until late 2008. Also known as: "Organic Light Emitting Diode".
