High Performance Gaming
Displays for Most
Sensational and Immersive
Experience
Designed for high-end gaming notebook PCs,
AUO's 17.3-inch LTPS LCD has UHD 4K ultra high resolution, mini LED backlight
design with 240 zones and peak brightness of over 1,000 nits to
meet the highest VESA DisplayHDR performance level, delivering
images with utmost authenticity and richness in details. Moreover,
the module has the thickness of only 3.5mm, making it the ideal
choice for gamers to enjoy the highest mobility possible. The
15.6-inch LTPS LCD combines the best of image quality and refresh
rate, boasting UHD 4K (3840 x 2160)
ultra high resolution and the world's highest(*) 120Hz
refresh rate plus 8.3 ms response time to serve the enthusiasts of
speed, and are also perfect for professional and hybrid notebook
PCs.
For VR headsets, the 2.9-inch LTPS display has ultra high
resolution (3456 x 3456) and ultra high pixel density of 1,688 PPI.
Adopting mini LED backlight technology with active matrix (AM)
driver circuit, the display possesses as many as 2,304 local
dimming zones for HDR images to reveal perfect image depth and
details for lifelike gaming experience.
Streamlined and Curved
Car Displays
with Tremendous Design
Flexibility
Smart cars are now equipped with diverse HMI systems that
require a lot more displays to support. AUO has seized the
opportunities by developing a full range of high performance car
displays applying multiple panel lamination. Specifically, one
vehicle cockpit display joins a 12.3-inch cluster and a 20-inch
CID/front passenger seat panel by direct bonding lamination,
yielding a huge streamlined display with high resolution, high
brightness and 1,200R curvature; another V-shaped vehicle cockpit
display consisting of a 12.3-inch cluster and 12.3-inch CID comes
in 300R curvature and cold-form cover lens, enabling accurate image
performance.
AUO has successfully applied smart HMI systems on curved
displays without sacrificing their brightness, as demonstrated by
the 12.3-inch high resolution cluster display exhibiting 750R
curvature while supporting dynamic backlight for images with
1,000-nit high brightness and high dynamic range. The 14.5-inch
LTPS CID panel integrates both in-cell touch solution and
curved design, with the display bent on the sides where TDDI (touch
and display driver integration) ICs are located. As a result the
display appears in a compact structure, closely integrated with the
car interior to provide all the more intuitive and convenient user
experience.
Leading Display Technologies
for Diverse Scenes of
Smart Living
For other professional market segments, AUO also has the best to
offer. In terms of professional monitor applications, the 32-inch
UHD 4K display adopts direct-lit mini
LED backlight with as many as 1,152 local dimming zones. Its
1,000-nit peak brightness meets the highest VESA DisplayHDR
performance level. Coupled with quantum dot wide color gamut of
over 100% NTSC and stylish bezel-less design, the display renders
accurate colors and vivid images with exquisite details,
particularly suitable for video editing, game and graphic designing
purposes.
AUO offers a comprehensive portfolio of high resolution, wide
color gamut, high brightness and high contrast LCDs for diverse
medical purposes such as ultrasound, imaging modality, endoscopic,
and micro-invasive surgeries. Among them, the 23-inch ultrasound
display possesses a compact structure design, while showing an
exceptionally high contrast ratio of 2,200:1 and wide viewing angle
with ultra low color washout in a dark room to reveal extremely
delicate grayscale shadings for doctors to diagnose with great
precision.
For smart retail and financial institutions, AUO presents
13.3-inch full HD display embedded with NFC (near-field
communication) antenna design, capable of supporting data
transaction distance of up to 4cm, which is the highest mandated by
financial regulations. The LCD active area design is particularly
fit for POS, vending machine and mobile payment purposes, which
demand specific sensor areas for higher transaction safety.
For identification and customs inspection purposes, AUO's new
4.4-inch fingerprint sensor module features high resolution (1600 x
1500), high pixel density of 503 PPI, and stylish module design of
only 12.8 mm thick. Its large sensor area allows for as many as
four fingers to be detected at a time, enhancing both accuracy and
security. The slim and light module is fit for portable application
with its robust design, and outdoor application under strong
sunlight.
