Here, we warmly congratulate AUO Optronics on winning the honor of being one of the world's top 100 innovative institutions for four consecutive years!& quot;

AU Optronics continues to strengthen its layout for key innovation technologies, stimulates the innovation vitality of researchers by setting up special projects, ensures that the number of inventions remains at a high level, and carries out strategic layout on a global scale to promote the steady growth of the number of global patents. As of the end of 2024, AUO Optronics 'cumulative patent applications exceeded 32,000, and the total number of approved patents worldwide exceeded 24,700. Among its R & D patents, up to 97% are invention patents.
At the same time, in the face of the increasingly severe global challenges of climate change, AU Optronics has long invested heavily in green technology research and development, deeply integrating the business concept of green innovation into business management thinking, and planning green patent layout in advance. In the field of energy conservation and carbon reduction, AUO continues to actively develop corresponding processes and products, such as using innovative technologies such as mini LED and Micro LED, as well as technologies such as OLED, LED light bar and E-paper to effectively reduce energy consumption. In terms of alternative energy, AUO has also achieved fruitful results, covering solar cell-related processes, equipment and products. As of the end of 2024, AUO has obtained a total of 4500 patent certificates related to energy conservation and carbon reduction around the world. Among them, the proportion of annual certificates issued by Micro LEDs has increased year by year, exceeding 80% in 2024.

AU Optronics has always adhered to a firm belief in innovative practice and has been deeply involved in the field of Micro LED display technology for many years. From overcoming key technologies to achieving large-scale mass production, we have successfully built the world's leading one-stop production line for Micro LEDs, continuing to lead the vigorous development of the industrial ecosystem. Micro LED technology has shown strong advantages in application. It can break through the limitations of size and form. It is widely used in smart wearable devices (such as watches, glasses and other small and medium-sized size products), smart car cabin interior and exterior displays to innovate user interactive experience, large size splicing in the retail and entertainment fields, and as an ideal display interface for AI software and hardware applications. From daily life to cutting-edge technological trends, AU Optronics continues to innovate and use innovative technologies to help people imagine and realize the infinite possibilities of future vision.
Looking to the future, AU Optronics will continue to adhere to the spirit of innovation and the concept of sustainable development, make every effort to explore the research and development and application fields of forward-looking technologies, and further strengthen the global patent layout. Join hands with partners in the industrial ecosystem to fully tap the huge potential of innovation and cooperation, and lead the industry into a new chapter in technological development. AUO Optronics has been selected as one of the top 100 innovation institutions of Keriwei Security for four consecutive years, and has always been at the forefront of technology and green innovation in terms of patent layout. For example, AUO Optronics gives full play to the application advantages of advanced display technology Micro LED in multiple size and forms to carefully create a smart car cabin. At the same time, it has made outstanding achievements in energy conservation and carbon reduction, and has obtained a total of 4500 relevant patent certificates around the world, of which Micro LEDs will account for more than 80% of the annual certificates in 2024. In terms of research and development of energy-saving and carbon-reducing products, AUO actively innovates. For example, HiRaso cholesterol liquid crystal displays use innovative bistable technology to achieve zero energy consumption for static display. In the field of alternative energy, the Smart Power Panel (SPP) developed by AUO can intelligently manage electrical facilities, realize remote load regulation, power and electricity bill monitoring and management, and at the same time visualize energy information, which not only saves electricity bills, but also ensures the stable operation of the power system, and plans to promote it to overseas markets in the future to contribute to global energy management.
