HSINCHU, Aug. 25, 2015
/PRNewswire/ -- With the exhibition theme of "Advanced LCD
Technology for Amazing Viewing Experience," AU Optronics Corp. ("AUO" or the
"Company") (TAIEX: 2409; NYSE: AUO) will participate in Touch
Taiwan 2015 (Int'l Touch Panel and Optical Film Exhibition) from
August 26 to 28. The complete series
of ALCD TV displays will be showcased, incorporating numerous
pioneering display technologies,
along with the world's slimmest(*) UHD 4K LCD TV panel
making its debut to show off perfectly rendered images with
exquisite details and colors.
AUO will also demonstrate pubic information display solutions
applied in diverse scenarios such as stations, the outdoors and
retailers. Ultra-wide curved monitor displays, ultra-thin
power-saving wearable displays, UHD 4K ultra high resolution mobile
device displays, integrated touch solutions, and ultra high
resolution car displays are also among the exhibition
highlights.
AUO ALCD Technology - A Breakthrough of LCD TV Image
Quality
AUO exceeds current technological specifications for LCD TVs to
integrate UHD 4K ultra high resolution, curved design, quantum dot
wide color gamut, and HDR (High Dynamic Range) technologies to
create the ALCD technology, delivering image quality comparable to
that of AMOLED displays.
AUO will exhibit a complete series of 55, 65 and 85-inch ALCD TV
display. The 4000R golden curvature mimics the curvature of the
human eye to create an exceptionally immersive viewing experience
with its free viewing angle. The next-generation quantum dot wide
color gamut technology is adopted, and the design of the panels has
been adjusted in accordance with the properties of quantum dots to
perform its best in colors, with the color saturation exceeding
NTSC 100%. ALCD TV displays are capable of showing even more
precise colors, capturing rich layers of image depth down to the
tiniest bit. Meanwhile the color gamut specification fulfills
thelatest UHD 4K LCD TV standards defined by international
standardizations. For backlight module design, the ALCD TV displays
have applied HDR technology. The backlight can be controlled in
zones to achieve higher contrast through local dimming. Images are
depicted in more details against dark backgrounds and present more
color depth, resembling more of what human eye can see in the real
world. Coupled with AUO's ultra-slim direct LED backlight module,
the panel thickness has been greatly reduced to merely 15mm,
meeting the stylish trends for slim and light designs.
The Slimmest(*) UHD 4K LCD TV Panel Debuts to
Break World Record
AUO will exhibit the ultra-slim 65-inch UHD 4K LCD TV panel for
the first time. It has the thickness of merely 4.7mm and is
currently the world's slimmest(*) UHD 4K LCD TV panel.
AUO replaces conventional plastic light guide plates with glass
light guide plates. The higher glass hardness can simplify the
panel structure. As a result, the module thickness is significantly
reduced and a super sleek and clean back cover design is achieved.
Combined with AUO's GOA (Gate on
Array) technology to lower the number of display drive ICs, the
ultimate combination of edge-to-edge design and super narrow bezel
lends an even classier look to the LCD TV.
Pubic Information Display Solutions to Fulfill Diverse User
Demands
To support easier display of diverse information and content in
all sorts of daily life scenarios, AUO presents public information
displays with ultra high brightness, dual sides, low reflection,
water and dust-proof features suitable for stations, mass
transportation service, merchandises, dining, drive-thru, and all
lines of businesses. The 65-inch Full HD ultra high brightness
display boasts the ultra high brightness of 2500 nits and can be
used for outdoor signages. It is capable of showing bright and
sharp images under direct sunlight. AUO will also demonstrate
55-inch ultra high brightness display for vending machine for the
first time. The high resolution display can showcase diverse
product information clearly. The interactive touch design makes
shopping a lot more fun for consumers and provides customized
product information to greatly enhance convenience in shopping.
AUO's 46-inch full HD waterproof display has met the standards
of International Protection Marking. The display is dust-proof and
resistant to high pressure water jets, fit for point of sale (POS)
systems at semi-outdoor drive-thru restaurants. AUO will also
exhibit public information displays that carry travel information
to provide passengers with clear train schedules and
advertisements, including the 38-inch ultra wide bar display
designed for passenger cars with limited space, and 32-inch full HD
high brightness display which can be installed indoors at metro
stations or outdoors at bus stops.

image designing and video processing, AUO has developed various
types of professional monitor displays, including the 35-inch ultra
wide curved LCD for desktop monitor with the world's highest 2000R
curvature(*), and 27 and 32-inch UHD 4K edge-to-edge
monitor displays with 100% Adobe RGB wide color gamut to manifest
extremely fine images with delicate details and true colors.
