Super AMOLED
Encyclopedia
Super Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode or Super AMOLED is a display technology (variant from AMOLED) mainly for use in mobile devices such as mobile phones (see the list below for examples). One of the main differences from other display technologies is that the layer that detects touch is integrated into the screen rather than being overlaid on top.
Compared with the first-generation AMOLED, some of the Super AMOLED advantages are brighter screens, less sunlight reflection and reduced power consumption. However, users have complained about noisy lines and blemishes when the display brightness is low.

were made possible due to a move from the Fine-Metal-Mask (FMM) to Laser-Induced-Thermal-Imaging (LITI) process . However, the move to LITI required a change back to Pentile RGBG subpixels.
