The key advantage for OLED is that the panel itself emits light, eliminating the need for a light source behind it and keeping the overall structure very thin and light.
Each icon panel gets a light shade to make them stand out individually, and every time you turn on the phone, they all animate very briefly by lightly popping in and out.

Apple has asked companies in its supply chain to develop flat panel modules and LED light bars for two iPad prototypes code-named J1 and J2, the story says, adding that TPK Holding will begin to supply touch panels to Apple in November before Wintek start ships similar parts in December.
The new Louver filter and new high performance panel result in improved external light shading, improved clarity and improved light transmittance.
ENGADGET: Panasonic unveils Infinite Black Ultra Panel plasmas for 2012 (eyes-on)
The PT-AE8000U generates deeper blacks by incorporating Panasonic's Pure Contrast Plates, which match the LCD panel characteristics, virtually eliminating light leakage.
In the top diagram the solar panel is completely exposed to a light source 1804 and all six electrode quadrants 1802 are producing electricity more or less equally.

Smart sensing technology automatically detects your work conditions to determine the proper display brightness with ambient light and human sensors, while a comprehensive input panel, including HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D, VGA and 4-port USB hub, connects users to the latest peripherals and future-proofs the investment.
ENGADGET: NEC revamps its MultiSync lineup with new 24-inch IPS monitor
During the analyst day, the company announced an efficiency record of 16.1%, which means that panel could convert 16.1% of the light it receives into electricity.

Dr Al-Zayyat's counsel argued that the panel's decision was "perverse" in the light of medical evidence that the doctor is not well enough to participate in the hearing.
The case was then appealed to the 10th Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel, which issued its own lengthy opinion that shed light on some important other issues as set forth below.
The upper flashing lights are integrated into the roof panel, eliminating the need for a bolted-on light bar that causes aerodynamic drag -- reducing fuel economy -- and can lead to rust.
The panel will include John Grimshaw a founder of Sustrans, campaigner Pip Sheard, light rail businessman Trevor Smallwood and consultant Roger Key.
The alleged breach was reported in the Western Mail and comes days after a panel of experts - appointed to oversee Pembrokeshire council after serious problems in safeguarding children came to light - completed its work.
