AMOLED made the AOD energy efficient, although LG introduced the feature to the LG G3 that same year with its LCD panel.

Samsung users had to wait until 2016 for the AOD with the Galaxy S7 series, while Samsung has been working with AMOLED technology on its top devices from the start. LG, which at the time stuck to LCD panels for a long time, also launched a strange bird that same year: the LG V20. The device stood out because it had a second screen: a horizontal strip of text above the main screen. That small LCD panel also had AOD functionality.
