OLEDs are the Organic Light Emitting Diodes having an electroluminescent film made of an organic compound that releases light in response to electric current.

OLED screens possess some benefits over the conventional LCD screens used by Apple generally for its iPhones such as a more striking photo click and much darker blacks feature. It also has a drawback which is the chance of burn-in, meaning that if a picture is left on the screen for a little bit longer time than usual it would then be permanently retained on the screen.
