Flexible AMOLED - What's the current status?

Flexible AMOLED is on its way but what is... Flexible AMOLED?

Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED) is a technology which involves each pixel
within the display being controlled individually in order to generate light when an electrical charge is received, this results in vastly improved contrast ratios, higher resolution, thinner displays and lower power consumption, than traditional LCD displays. Now imagine all of this improved technology, but within a bendable, flexible display!!

What devices would be suitable for a Flexible AMOLED screen?

Cell phones are set to be the first devices which will incorporate flexible AMOLED screens, that
consumers will have the chance to experience. Other uses  for flexible technology will follow shortly

OLED vs AMOLED - in 2012

Many people ask the question: "OLED vs AMOLED, what is the difference and which one is better?"

Well lets keep things simple...


OLED vs AMOLED

As mentioned before OLED is Organic Light Emitting Diode and involves a thin film of organic
material, which receives an electric charge to create light. AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light
Emitting Diode) involves an extra layer of material made up of an active matrix of OLED pixels. Each
individual pixel acts as a switch, regulating the flow of electric current.

To summarise, within an AMOLED display, each individual pixel is controlled and so this enables
higher resolutions to be achieved, resulting ultimately in larger screens, allowing AMOLED televions
to be made at the sizes we have come to expect of our tvs.

How do you make a larger screen OLED television? - AMOLED, thats how.
