AMOLED display and PMOLED display are two subtypes of OLED display technology based on an underlying principle of addressing pixels. The former stands for active matrix organic light-emitting diode or active matrix OLED while the latter corresponds to passive matrix OLED. What is the Difference Between AMOLED display and PMOLED display? What are Active Matrix […]

Difference Between OLED and AMOLED
An organic light-emitting diode or OLED display is a type of display technology based on electroluminescent organic compounds. These organic compounds essentially emit a particular frequency or color of light with the application of an electric current. On the other hand, an AMOLED stands for active matrix organic light-emitting diode. Hence, an AMOLED display is […]
Hard Disk Drive: Advantages and Disadvantages
Pros: The Advantages of HDD 1. One of the notable advantages of a hard disk drive or HDD is that it is cheaper when compared to a solid-state drive or SSD. An SSD with a similar storage capacity can be twice more expensive than an HDD. What this means is that computers with an HDD are […]
Solid-State Drive: Advantages and Disadvantages
A solid-state drive or SSD is one of the two major types of data storage device alongside a hard disk drive or HDD. Both HDDs and SSDs are more popular because of their reasonable manufacturing cost and better storage capacity. However, in choosing an SSD over an HDD, it is important to take note of […]
OLED vs. IPS LCD: Which One is Better?
Two display technologies currently dominate the consumer electronics market. These are organic light-emitting diode or OLED displays and in-plane switching liquid crystal display or IPS LCD. As a backgrounder, an OLED uses organic compounds that emit light in response to an electric current. On the other hand, an IPS is a specific type of LCD […]
TN LCD: The Pros and Cons
Twisted nematic or TN LCD is a type of thin-film transistor liquid crystal display or TFT-LCD that is commonly used in an array of consumer electronic devices such as digital watches and calculators, as well as computer monitors and mobile phones. Note that it is the most common type of LCD technology because of its […]
IPS LCD: The Pros and Cons
In-plane switching or IPS LCD is a type of LCD technology first introduced in the mid-1990s and became popular in the mass market in the mid-2000s. Note that its development marked an improvement in tested nematic LCD and its further utilization rivals modern display techs such as OLED technology, Quantum Dots, and QLED technology. The […]
OLED Display: The Pros and Cons
The Pros of OLED Display Technology Below are the advantages and applications of this display technology: 1. One of the strengths of an organic light-emitting diode or OLED display technology over other technologies such as LED and LCD is that it consumes less power. Each diode in an OLED panel emits light. The entire panel […]
Quantum Dots Explained
Quantum dots or QDs are nanocrystalline semiconducting materials that have optical and electrical properties. Their sizes range from two to fifty nanometers. Most types of quantum dots have either photoluminescent or electroluminescent properties. In other words, they emit light when excited by light or electricity. What Are Quantum Dots? What Are Their Properties? It is […]
QLED vs. OLED: What Is The Difference?
QLED or quantum light-emitting diode is a new type of display developed, manufactured, and marketed by Samsung. It is based on quantum dot technology in which nanosized particles called quantum dots are used to produce light and generate colors. Nonetheless, despite having a somewhat similar sound to OLED displays, QLEDs are different. What is the […]
