DisplayAlways-On Retina, LTPO OLED; 368 × 448 pixels, 977 mm², 326 ppi

Because the LTPO panel can lower its refresh rate, the display keeps showing the time and notifications with the wrist down; this is the first SE with Always-On.

Apple
Always-On Retina, LTPO3 OLED (wide-angle OLED); 416 × 496 pixels, 1196 mm²; 326 ppi; up to 2,000 nits, 1 nit minimum

Because LTPO can drop the refresh rate very low, the display stays dimly on even with the wrist down. Wide-angle OLED is used to reduce brightness loss when the screen is viewed from the side.
