Comment on If darker coloured materials get hotter in the sun faster, will a display with the screen on or off change how quickly it heats up?

No, the screen still absorbs the same amount of light, even when it’s producing its own. It is effectively black from the Sun’s perspective even when the screen is white.

A display that uses a reflective light display such as LCD or e-ink would be the exception. Since they work by changing reflectiveness, they absorb more or less light from their surface.
