Their design is relatively simple compared to high-color displays, and their basic output per pixel can be rather high. It is not something you'd want for a reader display.

However, high-color AMOLED-screened phones do not work any better in full sunlight than LCD ones, and sometimes even worse.
Old OLEDs don't, but the new crop Super AMOLED (the ones in new Samsung Galaxy) are much better in sunlight then old AMOLED or LCD (including IPS).
