Peng Shuanglang pointed out that Mini LED applications in the backlight, the use of a large number of LED, increasing the number of dimming partitions, to enhance the color and contrast of the LCD panel.A 5 ~ 6 inch mobile phone panel, to use up to 5,000 LED, with a 15-inch notebook panels, LED usage is as high as 7,000 LEDs. Increased LED usage, more sub-area dimming, increased IC usage, improved display performance, and greater natural cost.
Peng Shuanglang said that at this stage a lot of Mini LED backlighting costs to improve, to look at the laptop panel, a Mini LED backlight panel, compared with the traditional laptop panel, the cost increased by tens of times, how to further reduce the cost of product development In the case of a substantial increase in costs, Mini LED difficult to become a mainstream product in the short term, at least if more than 1,000 US dollars professional laptop is possible to produce, so AUO locked in demanding specifications, the price Less sensitive application marketing, such as gaming, as well as professional applications demanding color accuracy. AUO has been negotiating with customers this year, there will be product launches.
As for Micro LED, Peng Shuanglang said that AUO has invested considerable R & D resources in the industry is definitely the leading group. Micro LED Taiwan is a very good opportunity, with the existing LED with LCD two very mature industries, but The middle there are many processes or technical breakthroughs. And LCD technology is quite mature, the cost is also very competitive, so Micro LED to be commercialized, we must find suitable for entry into the market.
Although this year the South Korean panel makers to exit the notebook panel market, but AUO this year more emphasis on high-end notebook market expansion.In addition to Mini LED notebook panel debut, there will be more and more LTPS laptop panel production This year CES, Lenovo introduced the Lenovo Miix 630, thickness 15.6 mm, weighs only 1.33 kg, ultra-thin laptop has 20 hours of video playback life, using the AUO LTPS panel.
