AUO said that it is the first company in the world to mass produce the 6-inch WQHD panel, which uses AHVA (Advanced Hyper-Viewing Angle) technology and low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) production methods. The displays have a resolution as high as 1440x2560 and 490 ppi (pixel per inch). It's super-high detail and depth brings high resolution video images to life.

AUO claimed that it is dedicated to providing viewers with a brilliant visual experience and delivering display products with even higher quality and performance. AUO has also been strengthening its ability in intellectual property rights and has been a frequent winner of various product and technology awards worldwide.

AUO also mass produces UHD 4K curved LCD TV displays ranging from 50 to 75 inches using its leading curved LCD TV display technologies. The company's 65-inch UHD 4K curved TV panel won the 2014 Innovative Product Award of the Central Taiwan Science Park. Its next generation UHD 4K curved LCD TV displays have also been designed with world-leading 4000R golden curvature. The UHD 4K image quality and the concave screen with optimal visual design create an immersive experience for exceptional entertainment.

AUO said that trend in smartphone displays has been toward larger screen sizes, higher resolutions, lighter weight, greater thinness, and improved energy-saving characteristics. The company is confident that its strengths in amorphous silicon (a-si), LTPS, and active matrix organic light-emit diode (AMOLED) technologies will enable it to roll out a comprehensive range of display solutions.
