Ultra Thin, Narrow Border and Super Low Power LTPS LCD for Optimal Notebook PC User Experience AUO’s 13.3-inch metal mesh LTPS LCD applies one glass solution (OGS) and is the world’s first(*) UHD 4K narrow border LTPS LCD supporting the use of stylus. Another 13.3-inch Full HD T-con embedded driver LTPS LCD adopts a special MUX (multiplexer) design and effectively reduces its PCBA to an extremely small size. The LTPS LCDs are in line with the trend for professional and hybrid notebook PCs that are thinner and lighter with significantly improved battery life, excellent for travel with limited power outlets. ? For gaming notebook PC, AUO’s 17.3-inch Full HD narrow border LCD features module thickness of only 3.5mm, high 144Hz refresh rate and 7ms response time to convey outstanding image quality and motion performance. ? Free-form High Performance Car Displays with Superior Reliability & Design Flexibility In the past years, AUO has devoted tremendous effort in the development of high potency car displays to match modern smart cars. For CID applications, AUO will show the world’s first(*)13.2-inch free-form display featuring high resolution of 1200x1600, NTSC 85% high color saturation and 1000-nit brightness, with the gate circuit moved to the display active area to release extra space on the sides for free-form designs. Meanwhile, symmetrical holes are drilled in the active area to allow for more design flexibility, such as having buttons and control dials installed. ? The 12.3-inch Full HD LTPS LCD has high brightness of 1000nits and adopts in-cell touch solution integrating touch and display driver ICs to create a thinner panel for more design freedom at the center console. The 3-inch LTPS LCD for HUD has high transmittance, 1200:1 high contrast ratio, and high pixel density of 297 PPI. The clearing point of liquid crystals is as high as 110°C (TNI), capable of maintaining stable and excellent performance under the heat of sunlight. ? High Resolution Curved Displays with New Aspect Ratio to Spice up Smart Homes In terms of future smart home applications, AUO has developed 6-inch convex curved LTPS LCD made with glass substrate in 100R curvature. The panel has full HD+ (2160 x1080) high resolution with 18:9 wide aspect ratio and flexible backlight design, making it perfect for smart speaker or other IoT devices. ? Advanced Display Technologies for Diverse Applications in Exciting New Fields AUO’s 3-inch wire grid polarizer mirror display is the world’s first(*) to have applied nanoimprinting technology to achieve high reflective rate of over 45%. Equipped with AHVA (Advanced Hyper-Viewing Angle) technology, high contrast ratio, and consuming 50% less power than its conventional counterparts, the display possesses high reliability and performance. ? The 13-inch world’s highest(*) transparent AMOLED will also make its appearance for the first time. With transparency of up to 68%, the display features 1150x575 high resolution and 100% high color saturation. Showing single-sided image with low reflectance, the display is extremely suitable for future security check and diagnostic devices, and augmented reality applications. ? In addition to the impressive lineup at Display Week 2018, Mr. Daniel Lee, AUO’s Senior Manager & Chief Researcher, will be honored with SID Fellow membership for his widely recognized long-term contributions to the advancement of the display industry. AUO will also join the Display Week Symposium with its two Invited Papers: “Low-Power and Narrow-Border UHD LTPS Notebook Display” and “Highly Transparent AMOLED for Augmented-Reality Applications” with the hope that new technological fields can be continuously explored with concerted effort. ? ? * Based on the available market research information as of May 21, 2018. ? |
