Multymeter.com – The screen or display on a smartphone or cellphone is the most important part, not just Ram, Processor Rom, camera and others. Now the appearance of the display already has several sizes, with quality that adjusts the price.
Types of touchscreen screens on smartphones have dominated lately, to replace previous screens, such as: flip screens, slide screens, Qwerty screens, and so on. other types namely; Resistive type screen, and Surface Acoustic Wave System.
On every cellphone or smartphone screen, actually has two layers of different types, and functions. The first layer that is directly connected to our fingers is called the touchscreen, its function is for touch and input. The simple language is to replace the function of the keypad. And the second layer is the panel layer. screen that serves to display images / displays. LCD, IPS, AMOLED, RETINA OLED, TFT, and Super Amoled, are types of display panels.
After knowing the parts of the screen or display on a smartphone, here are 10 of the best types and types of screens/displays that have been used on sophisticated smartphones that are often used lately, with all their advantages and disadvantages.
1.Dynamic Amoled
Samsung is indeed a pioneer and at the forefront of developing oled screens. Although not the originator of the first, but Samsung is very good and experienced since a long time ago in developing OLED type screens.
Since the first generation of Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung has used screens with AMOLED panels. After the success of the Super Amoled panel, Samsung is now introducing an improved screen panel from the S Amoled, namely Dynamic Amoled.
So, what is the difference between Super Amoled and Dynamic Amoled? Actually both are similar, the difference is the technology they carry. Even Now Dynamic Amoled in the latest Dynamic Amoled generation, Dynamic Amoled 2X, supports Light up to 1,750 Nits, wide color gamut DCI-P3, and supports HDR10+.
In addition, the generation of Amoled development from Samsung is also diverse, such as Amoled E2, Amoled E3, Amoled E4 and the latest, Amoled E5.
This is the reason that makes Dynamic Amoled the Best Smartphone Screen in the World today.
Advantages of Dynamic Amoled
• Better than Super Amoled
• Very Wide color gamut (DCI-P3)
• Support HDR10+
• Refresh rate up to 120Hz
• Touch sensitivity up to 240 Hz
• Supports light up to 1,750 nits

Weaknesses of Dynamic Amoled
• The price is quite expensive and more expensive than Super Amoled
• Exclusive only for Samsung flagship devices.
2. Litpo Super Retina XDR Oled
The name is a bit unique, but in fact this panel is one of the best panels in the world today. Many media position this panel in the first place but in my opinion the Super Retina XDR is slightly below Samsung’s Dynamic Amoled panel overall.
This screen is also partially supplied by Samsung, so the quality is certainly closer to dynamic amoled, but some tuning has been carried out according to the character of Apple’s standard retina display screen.
If Retina Display is developed from IPS, it is different from Super Retina XDR which is developed from OLED panels. Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide (LTPO) Super Retina XDR has amazing dynamic contrast and supports the latest technologies such as HDR10, Dolby Vision and screen brightness support up to 2000 nits.
In addition, Apple has also added other technologies that further add to the appeal of this screen. For example, like Pro Motion which allows this screen to have a dynamic refresh rate of 1-120 Hz and True Tone support which makes the colors that appear look real and like the original.
Advantages of Super Retina XDR Screen.
• Colors displayed are very Brilliant and Accurate (Best for now)
• Supports HDR 10 and Dolby Vision
• Supports 120 hz High Refresh Rate (Pro Motion)
• Power-saving Dynamic Refresh Rate 1-120 Hz
• Saturation and Deep Blacks
• The screen brightness is very high up to 2000 nits.
• Good when in the sun
• Wide Viewpoint
• Fast response time
• More resistant to Burn-in issues with Apple’s secret tune up.
Weaknesses of XDR Super Retina Display.
• Exclusive only for Apple Products
• Very Expensive for replacement cost
3. Super Amoled
Super AMOLED (Super Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) is a further development and refinement of the AMOLED screen type, this screen type was developed by a large company from South Korea, namely Samsung. Super Amoled screen has a touch sensor that is on the screen itself so it does not require an additional touchscreen. That way, the screen becomes very thin, light, responsive. Because S-Amoled is a derivative of Amoled, all the advantages and characteristics are the same and even better, because Samsung perfects the weaknesses of amoled. This type of screen has very high and Brilliant Color Saturation and Quality. In addition, Super Amoled is very power efficient compared to other types of screens because Super Amoled only displays the required color sub pixels. For example, if it displays black, the subpixel will turn off so that it displays solid black and true colors without the help of backlight. Super Amoled is usually used on premium Samsung smartphones or premium Androids that use screens from Samsung.
Advantages of SUPER AMOLED Screen
Super Amoled is the most energy efficient screen type for this, Beautiful, brilliant and excellent color production Sharp saturation good in sunlight Supports high resolution Deep black colors Thin, Light and Flexible Wide viewing angle, Fast response time
