AU Optronics Company Description
If you use a laptop or PDA, you could be looking at AU Optronics. The company is a leading manufacturer of flat-panel displays. TFT-LCD (thin-film transistor liquid-crystal display) panels provide a clear, sharp image -- even in poor lighting -- and are used in laptop and notebook computers, cell phones, car navigation systems, digital still cameras, PDAs, and TV sets. AU Optronics sells to contract manufacturers, such as Compal, and to OEMs, including Acer, Audiovox, Panasonic, and Sony. The company sells primarily to customers in Asia; 60% of sales are to customers in China and Taiwan. AU Optronics was formed by the 2001 merger of Acer Display Technology and Unipac Optoelectronics.
