CIMM DEFINITION: A technology that creates displays that are less power hungry and more efficient than existing LCD technologies. Unlike LCD, OLED pixel sites use organic materials that produce their own light, removing the need for a backlight. Initial OLED devices were somewhat prone to performance degradation over time, which is one of the reasons they did not start replacing LCD displays on a wide scale in mobile devices until late 2008.
