LG is set to roll out AMOLED screens in everything from mobile phones, portable media players, picture frames and small TVs thanks to a deal it's just signed with Kodak.

The move will see the camera giant supply the Korean company with the Active Matrix OLED (AMOLED) modules for its next-gen products.

AMOLED is the newest generation of display technology promising higher contrast, faster response times that can deliver blur free video motion, wider viewing angles, and thinner designs.

The agreement also enables LG Display to purchase Kodak's patented OLED materials for use in manufacturing displays. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
