AUO announced that it will showcase new microLED display prototypes and technologies at Touch Taiwan next week. First up, the company has demonstrated a 42-inch single module microLED, which is said to be the world's largest (beating AUO's own record at 31-inch from 2024). The module offers a brightness of up to 1,000 nits, and AUO is showing a 127-inch tiled TV made up from these new modules. AUO will also show a full range of microLED TVs, developed in collaboration with Samsung Electronics. These TVs are based on AUO's MicroLED backplane technology.
Another new display will be the world's thinnest 17.3-inch dual-sided transparent Micro LED display. AUO did not detail any more information on that display - or just how thin is it. Among its use cases are interactive, first-class cabin interfaces that facilitate seamless communication between passengers and flight attendants via real-time translation on a transparent screen. The display also has use in commercial advertising, home decoration, points of sales and many other fields where the display can increase tech and style while also transmitting information.
AUO will also be showing, together with its subsidiary BHTC, microLED displays for automotive applications, including the Virtual Sky Canopy, the XR Interactive Window, the Morphing Center Control, the Foldable Cruise Pilot, and the Horizon Image Glass. These brilliant Micro LED applications, which extend across the sunroof, side windows, center console and steering wheel, create an immersive, user-centric HMI amplified by AI.
BHTC is set to introduce a Micro LED-based, foldable, force-sensitive Haptifold Display. This solution integrates the center console and temperature control functions, and applies an "avant-garde, minimalistic design language" to improve space efficiency and comfort. The display offers a brightness of up to 5,000 nits.
