What is the difference between AMOLED and Super AMOLED?

AMOLED and Super AMOLED are excellent display technologies used in different devices. While AMOLED is also a recent technology when compared to other archaic displays like cathode ray tube, Super AMOLED is a newer technology, and it corrects some of the limitations of its predecessor. In fact, from their names, it is evident that Super AMOLED is a newer version of AMOLED.

AMOLED is the short form of Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode or Active-matrix OLED. The AMOLED screen is equipped with different four layers i.e., the thin film transistor (TFT) array, a cathode layer, the substrate, active organic layer, but Super AMOLED comes with an additional component known as the touch sensor.

In terms of power consumption, Super AMOLED consumes less power compared to AMOLED. One of the downsides of the AMOLED screen is the issue of sunlight reflection; however, the Super AMOLED screen has improved on this. Another difference is that Super AMOLED produces quality and brighter pictures compared to AMOLED.

AMOLED and Super AMOLED are two types of screen displays. AMOLED stands for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode. It may also go by active matrix OLED. Another type of screen display is Super AMOLED. Compared to AMOLED, Super AMOLED is newer and has better efficiency. Another difference between them is how they are made.

AMOLED has four layers. These layers are the active organic layers, thin-film transistors, substrate, and a cathode layer. Out of all these layers, AMOLED stands out because of the organic layers. Super AMOLED differs from this because it has the sensor and screen integrating together.

AMOLED is simply an acronym for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode, and is also referred to as active matrix OLED sometimes. Super AMOLED actually is a newer and more efficient version of the previously used AMOLED. To define AMOLED, "OLED" refers to the basic technology that makes use of a tool that is specially made for film display.

Basically, an AMOLED screen comprises of four layers, which are the substrate, organic active layers, the thin film transistor, and the topmost cathode layer. The "AM" part of the AMOLED is best defined by its organic active layers. On the other hand, instead of installing the touch sensor component above the screen, the Super AMOLED is made in such a way that the screen and the touch sensor are integrated together.

The Super AMOLED produces a brighter screen with less power consumption of about 20 percent. It enables you to view the screen from a wider angle, and present a dynamic screen display.
