HSINCHU, Aug. 25, 2015
/PRNewswire/ -- AU Optronics Corp. ("AUO" or the "Company")
(TAIEX: 2409; NYSE: AUO) today announced numerous mobile device
displays and technologies, including slim, light and power-saving
displays for wearable devices, UHD 4K displays for smartphone and
notebook PC, oTP-Lite (on-cell touch panel) supporting professional
graphic stylus, in-cell touch panels, and a complete series of
ultra high resolution car displays, all of which will be exhibition
highlights at Touch Taiwan 2015.
Slimmer, Lighter and More Power-saving Wearable Device
Display Technologies for Diverse Smart Life Applications
AUO leverages the features of AMOLED and transflective LCD
technologies to develop various ultra slim and light displays with
low power consumption for wearable devices, which satisfy user
demands for their wearable devices to be power-saving, trendy in
appearance, highly readable in the outdoors, and easy and
comfortable to use.
AUO's 1.5 and 1.6-inch square AMOLED displays employ glass
thinning method to trim the panel thickness down to just 0.45 mm.
The ultra thin feature allows the smart watches to look even more
stylish and sophisticated. The watch designs for men and women come in two sizes that better fit users'
wrists. The 1.4-inchfull circle AMOLED display, having garnered
both Gold Panel Awards 2015 and 2015 SID Best in Show Award,
appears in a smooth, full circular contour combined with high
resolution, ultra slim and light, wide color gamut and low power
consumption features todemonstrate a classic wristwatch style. For
the outdoors with direct sunlight, AUO presents 1.3-inch
transflective LTPS display adopting Memory-in-Pixel technology,
allowing images to be intelligible under sunlight while saving more
power. When static images are displayed, the panel requires less
than 1% of power consumed by conventional TFT-LCDs. The wearable
devices could last for longer hours, suitable for long trips or
outdoor activities such as mountain climbing.
Ultimate UHD 4K Image Quality for Upgraded High-end
Mobile Device Displays
AUO extends the UHD 4K technology from large-sized TVs to
smartphone and notebook PC applications to provide consumers with a
perfect viewing experience, and sets the par for UHD 4K screens to
be applied on high-end mobile devices. AUO's 6-inch UHD 4K ultra
high resolution smartphone display has an ultra high pixel density
of 737 PPI, capable of manifesting images in remarkably sharp
details and depth, and singles out even one thread of hair. With
high brightness and wide color gamut, the display exhibits even
more bright, saturated colors with high contrast. AUO's 17.3-inch
UHD 4K ultra high resolution display for notebook PC has pixel
density of 255 PPI and high color saturation of 100% Adobe RGB to
deliver even more precise colors and exquisite image depth.
Equipped with AHVA (Advanced Hyper-Viewing Angle) technology, the
display retains its exceptional image quality when viewing from
different angles.
Integrated Touch Solutions for Much Easier Operation and
Convenience
AUO offers a complete portfolio of integrated touch solutions
for all kinds of mobile devices. In terms of notebook PC
applications, AUO will showcase 12.5-inch and 14-inch oTP-Lite.
Without the presence of the cover lens, the devices are lighter for
users to carry around more easily. In particular, the 14-inch
oTP-Lite is capable of supporting professional graphic stylus.
Users can write, draw or mark fluently and with precision, making
operation more intuitive. AUO will also present in-cell touch
panels for smartphones, including the 5-inch self-capacitance
in-cell touch panel employing a-Si TFT-LCD and 5.2-inch Full HD
in-cell touch panel adopting LTPS process technology.
Complete Series of High Performance Car Displays to Reform
Driving Experience
AUO provides a full lineup of car displays with high resolution,
wide color gamut, wide viewing angle and high weather tolerance,
meeting the high specifications of the automotive before-market
applications. AUO will exhibit 12.3-inch LCD for instrument cluster
with the world's highest resolution(*), 8 to 10.1-inch
high resolution LCD panels for center information display, and
8-inch oTP (on-cell touch panel). AUO is capable of supporting all
kinds of vehicle telematics and advanced driver assistance systems
with its full array of car display solutions, so that drivers can
easily retrieve all sorts of car information to significantly
increase safety, and passengers can also enjoy a variety of
entertainment systems with ease.
In terms of advanced technologies, AUO will debut the 5-inch
bendable AMOLED technology achieved by adopting plastic substrate
processing. Integrating AUO's specially designed sensor, users can
bend the panel intuitively to manipulate the size and direction of
the display active area. Different from conventional touch
functions, this bendable panel has revolutionized the operation
interface and human-device interaction of display devices.
