Some photos of AUO's AMOLED prototypes at SID 2014

Last week AU Optronics showed several AMOLED prototypes at SID 2014, and now we got some photos of all those displays (thanks Sri!). So first up is the flexible 5" 720p panel. This panel uses a plastic substrate and uses a thin film encapsulation. The minimum bending radius is less than 1 cm.

Next up is a "normal" rigid panel. This one is 5.7" in size with a resolution of 1440x2560 (WQHD). This high-density (517 PPI) features a color gamut of 100% NTSC, a contrast ratio of over 100,000:1, a brightness of 300 cd/m2 and a response time of less than 0.01 ms.

Finally, we have a photo of AUO's 1.6" AMOLED panel aimed towards wearable applications. Unfortunately this is not a flexible/curved panel, which makes the smartwatch concept a bit large and cumbersome. The panel is only 0.5 mm thick, is very power efficient, and is the world's first 1.6" in-cell touch AMOLED.
