gollark: Unfortunately (in my opinion) I believe most new phones use AMOLED.
gollark: They're small ones.
gollark: The contrast is better since pixels can be fully turned off, and you can make displays flexible, but it's less efficient at higher brightness and you get burn-in as the LEDs degrade.
gollark: Instead of an LED backlight and an LCD thingy to switch pixels on/off, you just have a lot of organic-compound-based LEDs.
gollark: It's a display technology.
