AU Optronics Corp. (AUO) announced today that the company will debut 6-inch UHD 4K (2160 x 3840) ultra high resolution smartphone display at SID Display Week 2015. With its ultra high pixel density wide color gamut and high contrast ratio technologies, AUO leads mobile devices into the era of UHD 4K ultra high image quality.
Ultra high resolution mobile devices have become a prominent trend. AUO introduces its UHD 4K display technology to smartphone and notebook PC displays, making UHD 4K displays the new parameter for high-end mobile devices. AUO’s 6-inch UHD 4K ultra high resolution smartphone display with ultra high pixel density of 737 PPI is showcased for the first time. The display incorporates wide color gamut, high contrast ratio, and high brightness altogether.
In terms of high-end notebook PC applications, AUO launches 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch UHD 4K ultra high resolution displays with wide color gamut and high contrast ratio to present colors in more precision, meeting the demand for professional graphic designing and audio-video gaming.
AUO’s 17.3-inch UHD 4K ultra high resolution display for notebook PC has a high pixel density of 255 PPI and high color saturation of 100% Adobe RGB. Equipped with AHVA (Advanced Hyper-Viewing Angle) technology, the display boasts impeccable colors and details when examined from every angle. Its image quality is comparable to that of professional desktop monitor display.
To fulfill the demand for wearable devices with lower power consumption and readability in the outdoors, AUO exhibits 1.3-inch and 2.6-inch transflective LCDs. Based on the lighting conditions, transflective LCDs transmit backlighting and reflect ambient light to display images. Impressive image quality can be maintained in both the outdoors and indoors, and the image is still intelligible under strong light while saving more power.
The 1.3-inch transflective LTPS display adopts memory-in-pixel (MIP) technology to retain the image with the pixel’s built-in memory. Therefore, the display can achieve ultra-low power consumption and only requires 1.7% of power consumed by conventional LCD when static images are displayed.
Not only AMOLED boasts wide color gamut, high contrast and high brightness, its slim and power-saving features also serve as the best choice for smart watches. In addition to the 1.4-inch full circle AMOLED display that has been successfully mass produced, AUO also demonstrates 1.3-inch full-circle AMOLED display on a plastic substrate. The panel thickness is less than 0.25mm.
During SID’s Display Week, a total of 23 conference papers by AUO were selected and published, among which a paper titled “Novel Blue Phase Liquid Crystal Display Applying Wall-Electrode and High Driving Voltage Circuit” was honored with the Distinguished Paper Award. The study probed into the unique LCD pixel and electrode design to significantly increase the transmittance of blue phase LCD. Special polymer is used to increase stability and enhance performance for high contrast and wide viewing angle. The outstanding achievements in this year’s SID Display Week again punctuate AUO’s long-term leading position in the development of advanced display technologies.
The SID Display Week 2015 to be held from June 2 to 4 in San Jose, USA, AUO will participate in and publish its papers, a total of 23 conference papers by AUO were selected and published.
