AUO Corporation Showcases Next-Gen LED Dome Display
AUO will showcase its LED Dome Display solution at stand 5K200 (as well as ADP’s solutions on stand 5J100). The spherical, nearly 10-foot, immersive display features AUO LED (ALED) technology, which offers high brightness, high resolution, high dynamic range and a wide color gamut for simulations and amusement applications. The technology has recently been deployed in several sites to deliver engaging entertainment experiences. AUO Corporation will participate at ISE for the first time, alongside its industrial and commercial display subsidiary, AUO Display Plus (ADP).
“Our LED Dome Display technology provides a stunning next-generation visual display solution for immersive experiences in both amusement and simulation applications,” said Dr. Wei-Lung Liau, CTO of AUO. “There is a growing trend towards LED deployment in this space, with fewer limitations than traditional projection systems allowing partners more creative freedom in their installations. AUO’s ALED technology offers superior brightness, contrast and image quality, which further enhances the sense of immersion and realism. The technology can apply to driving, sailing, and flying scenarios, delivering a realistic image for powerful, lifelike experiences.”
The solution uses ALED technology to allow for the immersive hemispherical shape to be achieved, with its modularized dome frame and cabinet designed to speed up the installation process to save time and labor costs. The display features 18-bit color depth when paired with the self-developed AUO controller, and it supports HDR formats to provide richer colors and smoother gradation. Its 4K resolution image and 120 Hz frame rate create smoother images, with increased details. AUO sphere image processing technology (powered by an AUO self-developed controller) allows partners to transform flat images into spherical content to fit the dome display, whilst real-time image processing enables players to interact with content instantaneously.
