("AUO" or the "Company") (TAIEX: 2409; NYSE: AUO) today
announced its participation to Touch Taiwan 2017 from September 20 to 22. This year the exhibition
highlights include AUO's full range of LTPS displays, demonstrating

has accumulated profound strengths in developing and mass producing
LTPS products, proactively building a robust LTPS technology
platform and deploying in mid to high-end markets. In addition to
notebook PC and smartphone displays, LTPS technology has also been
applied in the non-consumer market, creating a differentiated edge
amid value competition.
UHD 4K Ultra Narrow Border LTPS Notebook PC Panels Boasting
Both High Image Quality and Performance
AUO combines the ultra high resolution, ultra slim border, slim
and light, and power-saving features of LTPS to introduce UHD 4K
LTPS notebook PC panels. The 13-inch UHD 4K LTPS notebook PC panel
has 332 PPI ultra high pixel density to demonstrate rich and
exquisite details, and 1.5mm only ultra slim border to expand the
display viewing area. The 15.6-inch UHD 4K LTPS notebook PC panel
possesses high contrast, 100% Adobe RGB color saturation and ultra
slim border of merely 2mm, and is currently the industry's
largest(*) UHD 4K LTPS panel, meeting demand for both
optimal image quality and highly efficient mobile user experience.
AUO is also the world's first(*) to have announced
13.3-inch UHD 4K LTPS oTP (on-cell touch panel), having
successfully integrated on-cell touch function with UHD 4K LTPS
manufacturing process. The display combines ultra high resolution,
slim and light, power-saving and high touch sensitivity features
altogether, providing richer user experience with more
flexibility.
18:9 Full Screen LTPS In-cell Touch Panel for
Frameless Visual Enjoyment
AUO works proactively in developing a full range of in-cell
touch 18:9 full screen smartphone displays. The complete product
line covers both LTPS and a-Si technology platforms. AUO will
showcase several full HD LTPS and HD a-Si in-cell touch panels.
AUO's 6-inch full HD LTPS in-cell touch panel integrates the
display driver IC and touch IC to simplify the overall module
structure. Moreover, a new circuit and display design have enabled
the bottom module border to decrease by 40% in width, and the left
and right module borders to be just 0.6mm wide, achieving ultra
slim border on all four sides. The 18:9 full screen aspect ratio
produces more space to accommodate a virtual HOME button, allowing
for a boundless, audio-visual experience. Moreover, the in-cell
touch technology allows for higher touch sensitivity and precision,
and the smartphone could become slimmer and lighter. The panel,
possessing 1080 x 2160 high resolution and employing AHVA (Advanced
Hyper-Viewing Angle) technology, delivers incredibly fine images
for ultimate viewing experience when users browse web content,
watch films, play games or view pictures.
Free-form and Curved Car Displays for All New Driving
Experience

and is readable under strong light, making it suitable for
motorcycles in the outdoors, providing users with smarter and safer
riding experience.
Varied Forms of AMOLED Displays Inspire New Application
Possibilities for Wearable Devices
AUO's true circle AMOLED smartwatch display is developed by
creating slim salient corner for the watch surface to appear like
true circle. The display's ultra slim border can lend more
flexibility for watch brands to be more creative with their
designs. AUO 1.2-inch and 1.4-inch true circle AMOLED displays both
have resolution as high as 326 PPI, and consume 30% less power when
compared with other products in the market. The displays are

color on the watches are still clearly visible when users are out
under strong sunlight. The 1.3-inch AMOLED touch panel, possessing
touch function and power-saving strength, offers intuitive touch
experience and is light to carry, making it especially suitable
for children's smartwatch.
