World's first(*) series of professional and gaming
monitor panels equipped with advanced HRD technology
HSINCHU, Taiwan, Sept. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- AU Optronics Corp.
("AUO" or the "Company") (TAIEX: 2409; NYSE: AUO) will
participate in Touch Taiwan 2017 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition
Center from September 20 to 22 to
showcase a full lineup of advanced large-sized display technologies
and products. Exhibition highlights include enhanced ALCD
technology with advanced HDR (high dynamic range) introduced to the
full series, including the world's largest(*) 85-inch
8K4K (7680 x 4320), and 65-inch and 75-inch UHD 4K (3840 x 2160)
bezel-less ALCD TV displays; the world's first(*)
27-inch and 35-inch gaming monitor panels equipped with advanced
HRD technology; and a variety of public information display
solutions featuring high resolution, high brightness, extreme
narrow bezel and stretched type, which could be tailored to
customer requirements to support content of diverse kinds to be
eminently displayed in varied environments.
Enhanced ALCD Technology for Ultimate Home Theater
Audio-Visual Experience
AUO continues to strengthen its technology edge of high contrast
and wide color gamut by presenting an enhanced version of ALCD
technology. Through a comprehensive HDR design, the display can
achieve as high as 2000-nit brightness with significantly higher
contrast. Its low reflective quality helps to deliver high HDR
image quality even in daylight, perfectly capturing both bright and
dark image details. By adopting environmentally-friendly
cadmium-free quantum dots with high color saturation, the display
can reveal rich and detailed color depth, with a wide color gamut
exceeding NTSC 110% in all environments, boasting an overall higher
image quality than OLED TV. Having been the first(*) to
present bezel-less display on all four sides, AUO applies its
self-developed GOA (Gate on Array)
technology to significantly lower the number of display driver ICs
and expand the display viewing area. This not only allows for a
seemingly boundless, holistic view, but also a sleek and stylish
appearance.
AUO leverages its advantages in technological integration and
has again achieved specification breakthrough to introduce the
world's largest(*) 85-inch 8K4K bezel-less ALCD TV
display with 120Hz high refresh rate to deliver smooth motion flow
with impressive image quality. The features of 8K4K images are
thoroughly manifested through the large-sized TV panel. From
mountains standing afar to objects and figures up close, all images
demonstrate stunning clarity and stereoscopic effect, as if all
characters have stepped out of the screen, vividly depicting the
most exquisite image details and true colors. When marveling the
large-sized screen, the audience can perceive the most intricate
image details.
High-End Gaming Monitor Panels for Lightning-Fast, Immersive
Gaming Experience
AUO has devoted to the development of gaming displays for many
years, and continues to lead the industry by offering bezel-less
professional grade gaming monitor panels with even faster response
time and higher image quality. To provide gamers with the optimal
gaming experience, AUO has partnered with NVIDIA, a global leader
in visual computing, to develop the NVIDIA G-SYNC™ HDR technology.
By applying the advanced HDR technology, more contrast in games
with dark scenes can be accentuated, along with more clarity and
richer details against both bright and dark backgrounds. In
addition, quantum dot wide color gamut technology has been adopted
to achieve the best color performance possible, making gaming
experience all the more realistic. AUO is the world's
first(*) to present 27-inch gaming monitor panel
combining 144Hz refresh rate and UHD 4K ultra high resolution,
applying advanced HDR technology and Adobe RGB 99% high color
saturation. AUO's 35-inch WQHD (3440 x 1440) gaming monitor panel
possesses refresh rate as high as 200Hz and advanced HDR
technology, and sports a curved design with 21:9 ultra wide aspect
ratio to deliver an immersive, lightning-fast gaming
experience.
In terms of professional monitor displays, AUO presents 32-inch
UHD 4K HDR monitor panel capable of supporting the HDR10 standard
and professional grade Adobe RGB 99% high color saturation, meeting
demanding requirements of video and graphic professionals for image
colors and details.
All-Round PID Total Solutions for Optimal Promotional
Effect
AUO has long been dedicated to the development of public
information display (PID) applications, and has successfully
developed public information displays of all types, with features
such as ultra large size, high resolution, high brightness, wide
color gamut, extreme narrow bezel, dual side, and stretched type.
In addition, a full lineup of PID set products is also available
for customers. Depending on their specific promotional needs and
installation environments, AUO offers customized total solutions
covering hardware and software integration and after-sales
service.
AUO has led the industry(*) by introducing the ultra
large 85-inch UHD 4K signage for the outdoors, equipped with
2500-nit ultra brightness and capability to operate for long
periods of time with stability. The signage content is still vivid
under the sunlight, suitable for outdoor bus stops and standalone
billboards at boutique stores. The 55-inch full HD extreme narrow
bezel video wall display adopts the extreme narrow bezel technology
that enables the adjoining bezel to be only 1.8mm wide when the
displays are assembled together. Each of the 55-inch panels could
be assembled flexibly in irregular shapes depending on the space
available. Combined with AUO's color and brightness adjustment
technologies, the video wall shows superb image uniformity,
creating uniquely designed brand advertisements. A series of
stretched type public information displays from 28.6 to 42 inches
will also be demonstrated, exhibiting high resolution, high
brightness and high reliability, and could be installed in
semi-outdoor areas as traffic information displays to provide real
time information and advertisement for passengers, display wide
format advertisements in retail stores, or built into smart shelves
with sensors in retail stores to show merchandize information in an
interactive way, making shopping a lot more fun.
The Display Innovation Taiwan Conference 2017 will be held
concurrently with the exhibition. AUO President & Chief
Operating Officer Mr. Michael Tsai
will deliver a keynote speech titled "Display Technologies with
Continuous Innovations" on September
20. We cordially welcome you to visit us at Touch Taiwan
2017 to experience for yourselves how innovative products and
technologies at AUO inspire the future of displays in infinite
ways.
