I tried to keep things high-level and not get too deep into many of the sub-categories of things, like RGBLED. Basically, RGBLED (and B+RGLED) are where they use LEDs as the backlight for an LCD, only they use colored red, green, and blue LEDs as the backlight. This generally gives a wider color gamut, and it's used in a lot of 10-bit LCDs (like HP's Dreamcolor display). The B+RGLED has two colored LEDs, one that is blue and the other than is a red/green combo, I believe. I don't see it used, or at least claimed, on anything outside of a couple of Dell models.

"Pentile is a trademark of Samsung" -not quite true, unless Samsung has made LCDs for phones like the Motorola Atrix (and several other Moto phones).

Actually, it is quite true. Just because a device is produced or sold by one company does not mean that components of that device are not made by other companies. Case in point: The PenTile display used in Motorola phones is made by Samsung, or more accurately, their sub-company, Nouvoyance, Inc. -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PenTile . Also, the Apple iPad2, iPad3 and iPhone4S have a main CPU manufactured by, you guessed it, Samsung -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A5 .
