AUO Debuts World's Largest 21:9 CSHD 3D LCD TV Panel at FPD International 2010

Taipei, Nov. 11, 2010 (CENS)--At the FPD International 2010 show being held in Japan November 10-12, Taiwan's second-largest thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) manufacturer AU Optronics Corp. (AUO) is exhibiting for the first time a series of its latest 3D display technologies and products.

These new, eye-catching exhibits from the company include: the world's largest 71-inch 21:9 Cinema Scope HD (CSHD) 3D TV LCD panel; a large, interactive 3D touch panel solution with video game applications; a leading 65-inch quad full high-definition (QFHD) 4K2K lenticular lens 3D LCD TV panel; and an array of 3D displays for various applications.

AUO is presenting the world's largest 71-inch CSHD 3D TV panel for maximal visual enjoyment. The 21:9 ultra-wide screen offers a stunning, cutting-edge theatrical experience of high quality 3D images. The panel is designed with a 240Hz double frame rate, LED scanning backlight and optimized parameters for better motion flow. The new ultra-narrow border design presents the images in even more delightful proportions. Wearing polarized 3D glasses, audiences will be able to enter a lifelike stereoscopic world filled with images of extraordinary clarity and brightness.

According to AUO, the patented technology of the 65-inch QFHD 3D panel has resolved the problem of uneven brightness that occurs with conventional 3D displays, raising the resolution of a single viewpoint to high definition. The 3D panel has brightness as high as 500 nits, with eight viewpoints. Its fine image quality is suitable for commercial use, making the panel the most eye-catching large-sized public information display currently available.

AUO is also showcasing a 4-inch 3D interactive touch panel suitable for use with smartphones, video game consoles and tablet PCs. The light pen and touch panel are integrated for the first time so that users can move within three dimensions. For players of interactive 3D games, a fun and interesting 3D world becomes readily accessible. Adding spice to the mobile life, the 4” portrait / landscape barrier 3D touch panel leads the industry by allowing users to freely move their fingers about on the touch panel and switch between 2D and 3D modes in portrait or landscape positions, the company says.
