The global display technology event, Display Week 2025 (SID), has commenced. Dr. Ko Fu-Jen, CEO and General Manager of AU Optronics, led his team to the event and served as a keynote speaker, delivering a speech titled "Redefining Displays: Inspiring New Possibilities." Dr. Ko has a deep passion for the display industry and has been following the SID event for over 30 years. He possesses forward-thinking and keen insights into display technology, leading AU Optronics as a pioneer in smart display solutions. Through AI empowerment, AU Optronics is reshaping the visual innovation experience of displays, deeply integrating them with human life, and defining a new generation of smart living.
As AI technology continues to evolve, the lines between the real and virtual worlds are becoming increasingly blurred, making display interfaces a key gateway to understanding the future "world." Ko Fu-jen explains that in the past, monitors were merely display screens in the digital space, limited to interaction methods like mice and touchscreens. However, the rapid development of AI, including applications like the metaverse, augmented reality, and AI robots, is driving the evolution of future display technologies towards greater immersion, interactivity, and integration. This could even lead to diverse and innovative integrated solutions such as "Display on Demand" and "Only Show When Needed," making monitors a crucial interactive vehicle for blurring the lines between reality and virtuality, and fostering an innovative lifestyle where "Display everywhere" is ubiquitous.
Ko Fu-jen pointed out that in order to meet the diverse high-specification display needs across time and space and across domains, future AI terminal devices will require more display interfaces to be connected in series, making Micro LED advanced display technology the ultimate weapon to dominate AI applications. Ko Fu-jen said that through the high-performance advantages of Micro LED display technology, such as high definition and transparency, seamless splicing for large-scale applications, and flexibility, coupled with AI functions, Micro LED applications have expanded from high-end displays to multi-level integrated hardware and software solutions in mobile, retail, medical, entertainment, education, and AI optical communication, bringing new growth momentum to the industry. AUO has been a pioneer in Micro LED display technology for many years, achieving significant breakthroughs and innovations, and is committed to improving product yield and cost-effectiveness, leading the Micro LED ecosystem and accelerating the product commercialization process, directly seizing control over the application of forward-looking Micro LED display technology.
Ko Fu-Jen further pointed out that "mobile environments" will become the most promising pioneers in Micro LED display technology. Through the Smart Cockpit 2025 jointly developed by AU Optronics and BHTC, AU Optronics, as a pioneer in smart cockpits, has injected a series of industry-leading automotive Micro LED Display HMI solutions, including a panoramic sunroof, XR interactive smart windows, and intuitive multi-form central control displays, redefining the design concept of smart cockpits, expanding human-machine interaction, and driving a more intelligent and intuitive driving experience. This fully demonstrates AU Optronics' leading strength in Micro LED technology innovation and creates an extraordinary experience for future mobility.
Meanwhile, Ko Fu-jen emphasized that in response to the environmental issues arising from the rapid development of displays and AI computing, AUO adheres to the core concept of "Commit to Care" and injects green innovation energy into different aspects, including the use of environmentally friendly recycled materials, sustainable manufacturing, green product design and end-product applications. AUO is the first in the industry to use a systematic strategy to reduce the environmental impact of product lifecycles, promote more environmentally friendly and efficient technology applications, and significantly improve the synergy of R&D capacity and industrial resources. In the value system of cross-domain co-creation, AUO continues to exert a sustainable influence.
At this global event for display technology, Ko Fu-jen emphasized that the future development of AI will permeate all aspects of life, making displays an important interactive medium. AUO, as a key player in realizing humanity's future "vision," will live up to expectations, continuously driving innovation and breakthroughs in display technology, creating richer experiences and new possibilities for global users, and leading humanity to see a new future.
