AU Optronics to Demo World's First Curved LCD

AU Optronics said Monday that it had developed the world's first LCD display.

The display, to be shown this week at the SID (Society for Information Display) Display Week 2008, uses a conventional TFT-LCD process. According to the company, the glass curves 100 mm.


AUO said the new technology could be used for artistic representations of LCD screens, such as clocks or watches, or automobile dashboards. Technically, however, it provides a uniform representation, losing neither color fidelity or brightness, at least according to AUO.


AUO also said it would be demonstrating an ultra thin 1.9-inch TFT-LCD with a thickness of merely 0.63mm, as well as a 1.8-inch LCD multitouch touchscreen with the touch capability integrated into the glass, instead of via an additional layer.
