HTC uses AMOLED screen for some of its phones but they’ll be doing away with it for Super TFT LCD. The reason for the switch is not the technology but due to shortage of AMOLED screens. Samsung Mobile Display (SMD) manufactures AMOLED displays for HTC and it seems they cannot keep up with the AMOLED demand, majorly due to demand from its affiliate Samsung Mobile.
Despite the tight supply, HTC has confirmed to use AMOLED in some devices but Nexus One that will be produced from July will possess Super TFT LCD manufactured from Sony.
We’re not sure if customers would pay the same price for the same device with different display technologies but HTC claims the difference between both the displays is “discernible”.

S-LCD is NOT “Super LCD”. Matter of fact, there is no such thing as a “Super TFT-LCD”.
S-LCD is a lcd manufacturing COMPANY NAME formed through a joint venture by Samsung and Sony. The majority owner being Samsung, the company and its plant is based in South Korea, home to Samsung.
What HTC is doing is bascially giving up one of Samsung’s products for different one.
HTC isnt “pissed”. Some of these journalists who make up these stories try too hard to put some personality to companies as if they are people. There are no pissy contests, its all business, all about making money.
No matter where device manufacturers go, Samsung will ALWAYS be there. This company has its footing in practically all major electronic components business, from LED lights to core processors.
