AUO ALCD Technology - A Breakthrough of LCD TV Image Quality
AUO exceeds current technological specifications for LCD TVs to integrate UHD 4K ultra high resolution, curved design, quantum dot wide color gamut, and HDR (High Dynamic Range) technologies to create the ALCD technology, delivering image quality comparable to that of AMOLED displays.

AUO will exhibit a complete series of 55, 65 and 85-inch ALCD TV display. The 4000R golden curvature mimics the curvature of the human eye to create an exceptionally immersive viewing experience with its free viewing angle. The next-generation quantum dot wide color gamut technology is adopted, and the design of the panels has been adjusted in accordance with the properties of quantum dots to perform its best in colors, with the color saturation exceeding NTSC 100%. ALCD TV displays are capable of showing even more precise colors, capturing rich layers of image depth down to the tiniest bit. Meanwhile the color gamut specification fulfills the latest UHD 4K LCD TV standards defined by international standardizations. For backlight module design, the ALCD TV displays have applied HDR technology. The backlight can be controlled in zones to achieve higher contrast through local dimming. Images are depicted in more details against dark backgrounds and present more color depth, resembling more of what human eye can see in the real world. Coupled with AUO’s ultra-slim direct LED backlight module, the panel thickness has been greatly reduced to merely 15mm, meeting the stylish trends for slim and light designs.

The Slimmest(*) UHD 4K LCD TV Panel Debuts to Break World Record
AUO will exhibit the ultra-slim 65-inch UHD 4K LCD TV panel for the first time. It has the thickness of merely 4.7mm and is currently the world’s slimmest(*) UHD 4K LCD TV panel. AUO replaces conventional plastic light guide plates with glass light guide plates. The higher glass hardness can simplify the panel structure. As a result, the module thickness is significantly reduced and a super sleek and clean back cover design is achieved. Combined with AUO’s GOA (Gate on Array) technology to lower the number of display drive ICs, the ultimate combination of edge-to-edge design and super narrow bezel lends an even classier look to the LCD TV.
