AU Optronics To Debut 4K Panels for Smartphones, Notebook PCs at Display Week

AU Optronics will use this week's Display Week conference to showcase Ultra HD displays for 6-inch smartphones and 15.6- and 17.3-inch notebook PCs, the panel maker said in a Monday announcement. Its debuts make 4K displays "the new parameter for high-end mobile devices," it said. "When 4K videos are played, colors are more vividly rendered, while figures and objects stand out even more three-dimensionally to deliver impressive images with extreme details and authenticity," it said. The company gave no details in its announcement on pricing or availability. Display Week's exhibition floor opens Tuesday for a three-day run at the San Jose Convention Center.
