As AI accelerates the digitalization of the physical world, display technologies are evolving from passive visual surfaces into interactive interfaces that can sense, respond, and engage with real?world environments. At SID Display Week 2026, AUO brings together its group?wide R&D capabilities and integrated technology strengths, positioning transparent Micro LED at the center of a new interaction paradigm. Under the theme “Reimagining Visuals. Redefining Interactions.”, AUO demonstrates how display technologies integrating optics, sensing, and AI enable natural virtual?physical interaction across smart mobility and energy?efficient, low?carbon applications.
Reflecting AUO’s group?wide R&D capabilities, AUO will present multiple technical papers at SID 2026, addressing key advances in Micro LED, ultra?low?power display technologies, advanced materials, and system?level integration. The research extends beyond display devices to cross?domain convergence, connecting display and sensing with optical communications and low?Earth?orbit satellite technologies, while also addressing circularity and carbon footprint considerations to support sustainable innovation across the display ecosystem.
Building on this research foundation, AUO translates forward?looking studies into a clear technology blueprint for SID 2026. This blueprint centers on transparent Micro LED?enabled virtual?physical interaction, integrated optics and sensing for intuitive smart mobility experiences, and ultra?low?power architectures that support sustainable, high?performance display applications.

Micro LED: From Transparent Displays to Interactive Platforms Leveraging transparent, high?brightness Micro LED with seamless tiling, AUO consolidates its subsidiary AUO Display Plus (ADP) and their deeply integrated hardware and software solution capabilities, embedding AR visual overlay and AI computing into the interaction flow and validating Micro LED’s transition from a display component to an interaction platform.
ADP illustrates this pathway through a series of interaction?focused demonstrations. The 64?inch Sports AR Solution combines gaze tracking with low?latency system processing, enabling real?time, stable information overlays. A 30?inch Interactive AR Box showcase integrates transparent display with real?time gesture sensing and computing, allowing precise and continuous interaction with virtual content on a see?through surface. The 42?inch Multilingual AI Ordering System further integrates dual?side high?transparency display with multimodal AI inference, enabling speech, text, and images to be processed on a single display platform and presented simultaneously on both sides, highlighting the evolution of displays from information output interfaces into intelligent, responsive human?machine interaction platforms.
Smart Mobility: Safety?First Display Interfaces In smart mobility scenarios, display performance directly affects driving judgment and system safety. Starting from a safety?first principle, AUO Mobility Solutions focuses on turning displays into highly trusted human–machine interfaces under complex lighting conditions, stringent safety requirements, and tightly integrated cockpit systems.
AUO Mobility Solutions highlights three complementary technology paths. Advanced Reflectionless Technology applies optical structural design to effectively suppress glare and reflection, ensuring consistent readability under backlight, strong ambient light, and high?contrast conditions. Invisible infrared Under?display camera integration demonstrates deep fusion of display and sensing, allowing imaging functions to operate discreetly beneath the active display area without disrupting visual continuity, supporting driver?monitoring and safety?related use cases. AUO Mobility Solutions also presents an XR Interactive Window applied to side windows, combining transparent display with in?vehicle and cloud?based AI to enable intuitive window?based interaction for real?time access to information, content, and shopping?related services, expanding service?oriented smart cockpit applications.
Green Displays: Enabling Long?Duration, Low?Power Information Delivery As AI and digital services drive demand for long?duration display operation, AUO tackles a core sustainability challenge: delivering persistent visibility with minimal energy use through ultra?low?power driving strategies and materials innovation.
AUO showcases a LTPS 16-inch QHD 1Hz power-saving laptop panel built on its ECO+ LTPS technology, enabling low?frequency operation and dynamic refresh switching from 1 to 165Hz to reduce system power consumption during low?activity states while preserving high?resolution image quality. In parallel, ADP deepens the potential of ePaper with a flexible color ePaper display developed on a bendable substrate and bistable display principles, consuming power only when content updates and supporting persistent information presence. These technologies further extend into the AecoRetail solution, including AecoPost, a full?color ePaper solution, AecoTag, an electronic shelf label system, and HiRaso, an ultra?low?power outdoor reflective display technology supporting full?color visibility, wide?temperature operation, and long?duration information presence, enabling a new model of low?carbon information delivery.
Beyond its extensive showcase at SID 2026, AUO’s long?term commitment to display technology innovation and sustainable operations continues to gain strong recognition from the Society for Information Display (SID). This year, Jennifer Lin, Vice President of AUO Innovation Development, has been named an SID Fellow, underscoring AUO’s continued role as a key contributor across the global display industry value chain.
Looking ahead, AUO will continue to strengthen its capabilities in technology integration and platform development, working closely with global customers and industry partners to drive deeper and more enduring value creation for the display industry on the international stage. |
