3. Q: What is an AMOLED screen? What are the characteristics?
A: AMOLED is Active Matrix/Organic light Emitting Diode, that is, "active matrix organic light-emitting diode panel". Known as the next-generation display technology, AMOLED is capable of stunningly high contrast and high resolution, and is currently the premier display in the industry. In addition, because AMOLED does not have a backlight component, but each pixel emits light by itself, so the display becomes thinner, so as to further control the thickness of the body, creating a thin and round body feel.
Note 1: If you watch the AMOLED display from an oblique angle, you may occasionally notice a slight change in the color of the screen image, which is a characteristic of AMOLED and is a normal phenomenon.
Note 2: When the screen is displayed at a low brightness, you may see water ripples that are difficult to detect with the naked eye when viewing the screen with the camera of other mobile phones. This is the characteristic of AMOLED. It is a normal phenomenon that the screen brightness will be controlled by controlling the screen pulse power supply in low and medium brightness.

A: During long-term use, due to the display characteristics of AMOLED, slight visual changes may appear, including "image persistence" or "aging", which is a normal phenomenon. This phenomenon refers to the display showing a faint residual image even after switching to a new image on the screen; it may also occur in more extreme cases, such as when the same high-contrast image is displayed continuously for a long time Phenomenon. This is a screen effect, not really damaged or aged.
Note: In order to reduce the "image persistence" or "aging" effect of OLED, we have added a number of optimization measures to the settings of POCO F1 , including screen brightness adjustment optimization, screen-off display optimization, AI power saving optimization, etc. You can also further reduce "image persistence" or "burn-in" effects by reducing the screen lock time, occasionally adjusting the desktop icon layout, and automatically switching wallpapers.
