Studying the kind of display you use is a healthy choice, since it is the very first thing you sight in a smartphone, it also is your window into the apps and tools. Displays are consistently improving everyday, however, they still fall under two types. Each having its advantage and uniqueness. AMOLED is mostly found on Samsung phones and a few other random devices. Most smartphones, including the iPhone, come with LCD displays. So let's see their differences.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LCD AND AMOLED DISPLAY

LCD
LCD, an acronym for “Liquid Crystal Display," are the most common displays used in smartphones. Even TVs and laptops probably have LCD displays too. LCD is literally made from liquid crystals but that means it needs dual glass panels and a backlight. LCD displays are usually not as thin as AMOLED. The colors generally look more realistic, despite its low contrast and colors which are not too vibrant.

A common term that usual comes with LCD smartphone displays is “IPS,” which stands for “in-plane switching.” IPS offers wider viewing angles than other types of LCD displays, which is why it’s preferred for smartphones.

AMOLED
AMOLED stands for “Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode.” The displays are made from a very thin layer of polymers that light up when given electric current is passed through it. Because of its design, AMOLED don't need a backlight, its panels can be very thin and it is very energy efficient.

LCD vs AMOLED
LCD displays usually look more dull compared to AMOLED because they don’t have the same level of contrast. This is actually a good thing if you want colors to look more realistic . Another thing to compare is power consumption. AMOLED displays don’t need a backlight while LCD displays do. This makes AMOLED displays more energy efficient.
AMOLED is generally better for your eyes. Unlike LCD with its blue like display. However some LCD displays come with Miravision™ to protect your eyes but it'll never be as good as the AMOLED display.
