AUO Deploying New ‘Eye Care’ Displays for Telework, Remote Learning: COO

There needs to be “lots of innovation for various display technologies” so they can adapt to “our new normal life” of COVID-19 work-from-home and remote-learning mandates, Frank Ko, president-chief operating officer of panel maker AU Optronics, told the virtual Display Week conference. His keynote was prerecorded and screened for the first time Friday. Telework and remote learning means people will spend a great deal more time with their displays than before the pandemic, said Ko. AUO is responding by bringing more “eye care display technologies” to market, he said. E-paper displays are “more natural for humans” because they have no backlights and no “light emissions,” he said. “AUO has launched notebook and desktop displays with low blue light.”
