New AU Optronics TV Panels: 14-inch OLED and Ultra Wide TVs, Plus 3D Without Glasses [HDTVs]
AUO makes panels for several big names, including Samsung and Apple, so we're always interested to see what they're up to. On show at FPD 2009, their 14-inch OLED TV panel does 1080p, and has a 100,000:1 contrast ratio.
No word on when (or if) a TV maker will pick it up. AUO is also showing a new high-def 3D panel that that can scale from 8- to 65-inches in size. It's got a 2D/3D switch, and has a higher resolution and greater viewable angle compared to previous 3D TVs that don't need glasses. Finally, they've also got a new 58-inch Ultra Wide TV panel with a resolution of 2560 x 1080. It's 2.35:1 ratio is designed to present 2.35:1 films without black bars.
A sign of things to come? I'm really not sure about viability of all three, but we'll see I guess. [AUO via OLED-Display.net]
