What is the difference between AMTFT and PMTFT?

One is more expensive than the other, but what else?

AM stands for Active Matrix and PM is Passive Matrix
TFT (Thin Film Transistor) is a multi color display (64,000 up to 64,000,000 unique colors)
Active matrix has one capacitor/transistor tied to each pixel. This generates a much faster refresh rate that produced a sharper image, better video and better contrast. There is a higher cost.

Passive matrix has one capacitor/transistor tied to a row of pixels. There is a slower refresh rate depending on the duty cycle. The faster the duty cycle, the sharper the contrast
