AUO Corporation ("AUO" or the "Company") (TAIEX: 2409; NYSE: AUO) today announced that numerous types of innovative mobile displays and technologies will be presented at SID’s Display Week 2017 in Los Angeles from May 23 to 25, shaping the future of smart living.
Exhibition highlights include a complete portfolio of LTPS LCDs for notebook PC, with UHD 4K ultra high resolution, ultra narrow border, and low power consumption. For AMOLED, AUO will demonstrate world’s first 1.2-inch and 1.4-inch true circle AMOLED(*) smartwatch displays and 5-inch foldable touch AMOLED for future wearable or phablet applications. A new suite of ultra high resolution, free-form, and curved automotive displays, and 15.6 to 35-inch LCDs for gaming displays incorporating high resolution, ultra high refresh rate as well as bezel-less and curved design will also be showcased.
Ultra High Resolution, Narrow Border and Power-saving LTPS LCD Setting New Standard for High Performance Notebooks
AUO led the industry in mass producing UHD 4K LTPS LCD for notebook PCs(*), and will demonstrate a stellar lineup of notebook PC LCDs at this year’s Display Week highlighting ultra narrow border and power-saving features, realizing the full potential of LTPS technology. Both 13.3-inch and 15.6-inch UHD 4K LTPS LCDs adopt a new MUX (multiplexer) design, which effectively reduces the width of the panel’s bottom border. In particular, 13.3-inch UHD 4K LTPS LCD has a high pixel density of 332 PPI and 1.5 mm-only ultra narrow border to allow much more display active area. At just 2 mm thick, the LTPS LCD reveals an extremely sleek and thin profile.
The 13.3-inch UHD 4K ultra low power LTPS LCD boasts logic power consumption of less than 1 watt, around 40 percent lower than conventional 60 Hz models. The LTPS LCDs are in line with the trend for slimmer and lighter, and more power-saving mobile devices with higher screen-to-body ratio, perfect for professional and hybrid notebook PCs.

Pioneering True Circle AMOLED Displays(*) for Maximum Smartwatch Design Flexibility
By administering an enhanced structural design, the 5-inch foldable touch AMOLED allows a folding radius of 4 mm while still delivering HD grade image quality and 95% coverage of the BT.2020 color gamut. In addition, the display has touch sensor and cover film integrated and is still only 0.1 mm thick, creating more inspirations for future wearable or phablet designs.
Advancing High Potency, Curved and Free-form Displays for Modern Smart Cars
For instrument cluster applications, AUO will show 12.3-inch full HD free-form LTPS LCD with AHVA wide viewing angle, narrow module border and low power consumption features. With demand for ultra high contrast ratio next-generation car displays, AUO has developed 12.3-inch full HD AMOLED display with superior features, including ultra high contrast ratio, super fast response time, and high color saturation. The 27-inch full HD panoramic LCD combines two displays to form an all-encompassing and stylish design, meeting the trend for streamlined car interior design.
In terms of advanced technology for center information display (CID), 3.5-inch flexible plastic LCD applies a colorless PI (polyimide) plastic substrate and COG (Chip on Glass) direct bonding, and develops a flexible backlight unit to create a highly flexible display.
Full Range of High Refresh Rate Gaming LCD Panels for Supreme User Experience
During Display Week 2017, AUO Chairman & CEO Mr. Paul SL Peng will deliver a keynote speech titled "The Warring States Era of Display Technologies" on May 23. AUO will also present several conference papers at the oral sessions of Display Week Symposium, with a paper titled “Achieving a Foldable and Durable OLED Display with BT.2020 Color Space Using an Innovative Color-Filter Structure” granted the Distinguished Paper Award. It is hoped that further exchange of ideas can be achieved for more inspirations to power the advancement of display technologies.
