AUO and the FDC to co-develop flexible AMOLED displays
Nov 17th
The Flexible Display Center (FDC) at Arizona State University and AU-Optronics will co-develop mixed oxide thin film transistors (TFTs) for flexible AMOLED displays. AUO and the FDC will work in active partnership with dedicated engineering teams to advance mixed oxide transistor technology and the handling capabilities of conventional flat panel display (FPD) manufacturing processes to accommodate the thin, plastic substrates used for AMOLED flexible displays. Mixed oxide TFTs offer a better ability to drive currents and improve the lifetime and stability of transistors used for OLED displays. Flexible AMOLED by ITRI AUO is also working towards flexible displays together with Taiwan’s ITRI . AUO plans to start mass producing AMOLED displays in Q2 2011 (but these will not be flexible…).

AUO want to compete against SMD with cheaper AMOLED Panels in 1Q 2011
Oct 28th
The demand of AMOLEDs for smartphones is very strong, and Samsung Mobile Display can not deliver so much OLED Panels. Now AU Optronics or AUO want to introduce there touch panel business for smartphones under its consumer product display business group. AUO has begun production of in-cell touch panels based on its TFT-LCD manufacturing technology. AUO start the mass production of small/medium sized AMOLEDs in 2011 with the 3.5G plant. The Display Business Operation executive VP Paul Peng says that in addition Auo may use its 4.5G production equipment to make OLED panels . read more

ITRI developed a 6" flexible color AMOLED
Oct 27th
Taiwas’s ITRI (Industrial Technology Research Institute) has developed a new 6″ flexible color AMOLED, using their FlexUPD technology. The display is just 0.01cm thick, and can continue to show images even when folded. The folding radius can reach 5cm or less, and the screen can be scrolled up to 15,000 times. ITRI says that their FlexUPD technology is the simplest and cheapest technology for mass production paper-like displays. FlexUPD will be commercialized soon, and AUO plans to use it for flexible e-reader products “very soon”. read more

AUO buys AFPD’s LTPS line, will use it to make AMOLED displays
Jul 23rd
AU Optronics has completed its acquisition of Toshiba Mobile Display’s subsidiary, AFPD. This is part of AUO’s strategic move into AMOLED production. AFPD has a Gen-4.5 LTPS plant, which can be used to produce OLED backplanes. AUO 14-inch OLED prototype AUO wants to quickly start making AMOLEDs, because of the enormous demand for small sized displays. AUO is also working on its own manufacturing line, which will go online in 2011 . read more

New rumors about Apple’s 2nd-Gen OLED iPad, still seems unlikely
Jul 13th
There are some new rumors about Apple ‘s 2nd-Gen iPad, that will use 5.6″ and 7″ AMOLED displays. According to the rumors, the iPad 2 will be launched at 4Q 2010. A new 9.7″ version will also be released, with some “minor” changes, and will still use an IPS-LCD. The smaller iPads will mainly target the e-reader market. While it’s true that OLED costs are expected to drop, it’s still unlikely that Apple will find a supplier that can make enough OLED displays. Samsung can’t keep up with current demand for smaller displays (4″ or less), and their new plant will not be ready by the July 2011 . There are other companies working on new OLED plants ( LG , AUO , TPO ) but these will also not be able to meet Apple’s demand.

DisplaySearch expects at least 20 new AMOLED production lines in 3 years
Jul 12th
Jennifer Colegrove, director of display technologies at DisplaySearch, is optimistic about AMOLED production capacity: “”I expect in the next three years for at least 20 new AMOLED production lines to open up… This is the future of the display technology on smartphones and you’ll see a lot of companies investing money to enter”. We already know of a few production lines that are expected in the coming years: Samsung has begun working on their 5.5-Gen Plant (that’ll have 3 lines, a $2.2 billion investment), LG is also investing heavily in new lines , TPO is expected to launch products soon , AUO will soon start building their AMOLED line and Visionox has a pilot line ready . read more

More information and a video of AUO’s 2.4" transparent touch AMOLED
Jun 10th
We have some more information and a nice video about AUO’s 2.4″ transparent touch AMOLED display . The resolution of the panel is 240×320, and it’s a “dual-emission” structure. It’s got 45% transparency, 200 cd/m2 brightness on the bottom, and 100 cd/m2 on the top. The contrast is better than 20,000:1. The response time is less than 0.01ms. AUO hopes to have this as an actual product in 2011, and are also working on a 7″ version.

Visionox’s AMOLED pilot production line is complete
Jun 3rd
Today we learned that Visionox’s AMOLED pilot production line was completed, and is able to produce OLED displays up to 17″ , although Visionox will start will 3″ to 12″ products, and will only start 17″ products later. The line was developed in cooperation with the Kunshan Industrial Technology Research Institute (K-ITRI). Visionox AMOLED production line Visionox has been cooperating with AU Optronics on a 2.4″ AMOLED display product. Via OLEDW and Digitimes .
