HTC has just announced that it will be changing the displays on the HTC Desire and the Global Nexus One to Super LCD displays, this is because of the shortage of AMOLED displays which have caused a limited supply of certain handsets.
Both models will use Super LCD displays (SLCD) which will be made by Sony, and according to HTC the SLCD display offer a similar experience to the AMOLED displays.
This should help HTC out, and allow them to sell more smartphones without having to rely on the supply of AMOLED displays of which there seems to be a shortage at the moment.
