AMOLED
is a technology that is part of the family of OLED displays, and its stands for "active matrix organic light emitting diode", ie the organic light emitting diode active matrix.
They have the characteristic of having an active matrix display consists of a structure of transistors integrated into the display of at least two transistors for each pixel. The transistors are connected in sequence to the anodic and cathodic lines and are able to keep active each pixel to the next scanning period. The active-matrix OLED displays are more expensive, but offer images brighter and more defined than those of the passive type.

FOLED
The flexible OLED FOLED are especially developed by Universal Display Corporation.
The use of FOLED can offer significant performance advantages compared to LCD, thanks to its flexible form, is thinner and lighter than any other existing media. The challenge is to make truly portable electronic devices unnendo many features shock resistance
Technically FOLED is constructed of plastic film optical-free or on sheet metal folding, many are currently being developed according to the use of these devices as a universal means of communication.
The FOLED can for example be placed on the front screen of a helmet, wrist screens, the cuffs of a shirt, on a dashboard of a car. The flexibility of FOLED potential is enormous and is still developing, so far mainly in military contracts on prototypes from the Department of Defense.

PHOLED
It is phosphorescent OLEDs, the acronym is "phosphorescent organic light-emitting diode" technology developed by Universal Display Corporation Company. Their distinctive feature is the very low energy consumption, also lower than the OLED.

LCD
The LCDs are liquid crystal displays used at the time of a vast number of electronic devices such as PCs, mobile phones, MP3 players and UMPC. They have a better definition of the classic screen, especially if equipped with TFT or active matrix.
Are standard for many years in notebook PCs and TV, even if they have several limitations such as ghosting due to response times do not possess.

Plasma
Flat screen that does not use CRT technology but from the field of physics.
These screens are made from an array of 100 micron thick, and divided into cells enclosed between two panes of glass, inside there are two gases xenon and neon form a gaseous mixture which when subjected to the action of an electric field, switches to the plasma generating ultraviolet rays. These rays strike particles of phosphorus red, green and blue produces a colored light that makes up the 'image on the screen.
The plasma is used for large screen sizes above 32 inches, which are capable of displaying a simple deep, higher than that of LCDs. They are also very bright and have a wide color gamut.
Please note, however, consumption of large screens!
that of a plasma TV is very influenced by what you are looking: bright scenes will absorb a lot more watts than in dark scenes.
If a 32-inch screen consumes about 180-200 watts, a 50-inch screen consumes around 360 watts!
