AU Optronics Unveils Taiwan's First 65-inch FHD 120Hz LCD TV Display

June 06, 2007

    HSINCHU, June 6 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- AU Optronics
Corp. ("AUO") (TAIEX: 2409; NYSE: AUO) today
unveiled Taiwan's first 65-inch Full HD 120Hz LCD TV panel,
claiming it to be the world's second
able-to-be-commercialized 65-inch LCD panel, and to reach
CRT- and Plasma-like image quality in motion picture
response time.  AUO's successful launch of its 65-inch LCD
panel demonstrates Taiwan-based panel maker's epoch-making
capability of producing larger than 60-inch LCD TV panels. 
AUO will be debuting its 65-inch FHD 120HZ LCD TV panel at
Display Taiwan 2007, from June 13 to June 15, in Taipei.

    AUO's 65-inch Full HD LCD TV display is equipped with
HDTV 1920x1080 high resolution, ASPD 120Hz driving
technology for motion blur reduction, AMVA(*1) superior
wide-viewing angle technology, and HiColor saturation
technology. With ASPD double frame rate 120Hz technology,
AUO's 65-inch LCD TV panel has achieved a faster response
time of 4 ms gray-to-gray and 8 ms MPRT(*2), allowing for
excellent motion picture quality display. It also features
AUO AMVA technology for color washout improvement at large
viewing angles, HiColor technology for wide color gamut of
NTSC 92%, high contrast of 2000:1, true 10 bit gray scale
for better image processing quality in displaying billions
of colors (1073.7M), 64 times better than 8 bit color depth
performance.  The end results in excellent display quality
performance.

    "It is expected that large-sized LCD TVs with
features of Full HD, high resolution, and double frame rate
120Hz will go mainstream," said Dr. David Su, Sr. VP
& GM of TV Display / Consumer Product Display Business
Groups of AUO.  "With the addition of 65-inch Full HD
panels, AUO is able to offer customers TV panels featuring
Full HD and ASPD 120Hz driving technology in the sizes of
42-, 46- and 65-inches." 

    Two 65-inch panels can be economically cut via AUO's G6
fabs in the Lungke Science Park and the Central Taiwan
Science Park, and it is estimated that mass production will
commence in 3Q07.
