AU Optronics unveils new display technology

AU Optronics Corp (友達光電) yesterday unveiled the world’s first convex display technology, which is expected to greatly boost the color performance and image quality of liquid-crystal display (LCD) panels.

“Unlike the existing e-paper on a flexible substrate, AU Optronics’ new convex curved display technology can bring TFT-LCD

(thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal-display) panels technology up to a greater level in terms of color performance and image quality,” the company said in a statement.

The second-largest maker of large-sized TFT-LCDs said the specially designed curved backlit unit maintains uniformity in brightness and contrast on the convex surface.

The curved radius is 100mm with the TFT-LCD process on a glass substrate, and therefore requires a special thinning technology in order to achieve better color performance and image quality.

The company said it would also apply the new technology to some curved display applications, including watches and dashboards.
