AMOLED = OLED.
Though Sony did have some monitors and demoed one TV with real LEDs, called Crystal LED, seeing as the Marketing people have "used up" LED on both LCD and OLED/AMOLED
Am = Amorphous
O = Organic
LE = light emitting
D = Anything with a diode like characteristic, current only flows properly one way.
Though there are variations in the phosphors, underlying device, deposition and colour layout.
Originally all (no extra space)
RGB RGB RGB
RGB RGB RGB
later to reduce need for x3 resolution subpixels:
GB GR
RG BG
Then they had various four colour schemes adding in Yellow pixels as they are x2 brighter on LCD (LCD uses a dye filter overlay) and somewhat brighter on OLED phosphors.
Real LEDs only use phosphors in lamps/lighting, "White" LEDs and backlights. Actual white LEDs do not exist. They are blue, violet or UV with yellow phosphor (if blue) or mixed phosphors otherwise. An R G B LED is three LEDs in one package using 3 chips. They are useless for room lighting but OK for backlights (though rarer because expensive), true R G & B LEDs will give wrong colours off reflected light as really orange, yellow, cyan etc will be dark, red, green or blue. The CRT, Plasma, LCD, OLED, DLP etc displays are all a trick, it only looks like colour to us and some animals with similar retinas. No good for many birds and likely Aliens
