AUO will be releasing ultra-slim 42” TFT LCDs with LED technology. Despite its slimness, the screen achieves a brightness rating of 450 nits, which is just 50 nits short of the company’s current 42-inch LCD offerings. The TV also utilizes a 16×8 block of efficient white LEDs to reduce power consumption while allowing for a high dynamic contrast of more than 200,000:1.

Sharing the booth space will be AUO’s 46-inch panel, showcasing the company’s third generation of its Advanced Managed Video Array (AMVA III) technology for a static contrast ratio of more than 5000:1. This, combined with AUO’s RGBW technology which increases brightness by 30 percent while using up less energy, result in a panel that consumes up to 50 percent less power than conventional screens.

As AUO supplies many set makers with its panels, expect to see them offered in North America under different brands in the future.
