The exhibition marks AUO's achievements in new product and advanced technology developments. During the exhibition, AU Optronics will showcase various TFT-LCD panels, ranging from 1.5 to 20.1 inches, to emphasize the company's complete product scope. Major exhibits include a series of newly developed products: for monitor applications, a 20.1-inch UXGA panel with Multi-Domain Vertical Alignment (MVA) technology as well as a 19-inch SXGA panel with MVA technology and high contrast ratio (600:1) will be demonstrated. As for notebook PC applications, a 15.2-inch WSXGA panel with wide view angle and high brightness (200 nits), and a 14.1-inch XGA module of light weight (385g), ultra-thin design (4.8 mm thickness), and high brightness (200 nits) will be launched. In addition, a new 8.4-inch SVGA panel for table PC will also be displayed. Integrated with a digitizer, this product provides fast response time, wide view angle, and high resolution.

For consumer electronics applications, AU Optronics will showcase both 3.5-inch and 3.8-inch reflective TFT-LCD panels of high image quality and high reflectance designed for PDA, 1.93-inch transmissive and 2-inch transflective TFT-LCD panels for mobile phone, and a 7-inch module of wide screen (16:9) for car navigation. For LCD TV applications, the company will exhibit a 20.1-inch SVGA TFT-LCD module of full color displays (16.7 M colors), high contrast ration (500:1) and high response time (16 ms). The company has recently begun mass production of the product this October. Other applications for AUO?|s featured products include digital still cameras (DSC) and digital video cameras (DVC).

New product technologies will also be demonstrated including the world's first 4-inch full-color active matrix OLED (AMOLED) based on amorphous-silicon thin film transistors, a 4-inch LTPS OLED based on AUO?|s own LTPS technology, 3.8-inch and 1.5-inch LTPS TFT LCD modules, as well as 42-inch and 50-inch color plasma displays.
