HSINCHU, Taiwan, – AU Optronics Corp. (AUO) today announced that the company is going to showcase its latest AMOLED technolgy in terms of wearable applications at Touch Taiwan 2015.
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 pair watch design for men and women comes in two sizes that better fit users’ wrists.
The 1.4-inch full 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 to demonstrate 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.
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.
