Taiwanese display maker AU Optronics will show what it calls the world's first curved TFT (thin film transistor) LCD (liquid crystal display) screen on a glass substrate at an exhibition in Los Angeles this week.
AUO's Curved Display has a curved radius of 100 millimeters and uses a special thinning technology and a curved backlight, the company said, noting future applications of this type of display could include automobile dashboard displays and watches. The display will be exhibited at a show in Los Angeles organized by the Society for Information Display (SID), Display Week 2008, which opens Tuesday.
AUO did not say when the Curved Display technology will be commercially available.
Besides the Curved Display, AUO plans to show off several other advances at the show, including an LCD screen for mobile phones that is 0.63 millimeters thick. That makes the display the thinnest available, AUO said, and will allow cell phone makers to design sleeker handsets.
