AU Optronics (AUO) is tooting the “world’s first” horn that dawn with its new curved TFT-LCD process on glass substrate. They’ve additionally got the world’s slimmest — 0.63mm — TFT-LCD available in both 1.9-inch and relatively massive 8-inch versions, the latter boasting a 400cd/m2 brightness and 2.1-gram weight. Not poor, but they can’t hold a candela to future generation OLEDs. Perhaps most interesting, though, are a pair of in-cell, multi-touch displays

offered at 4.3- and 8-inches. The panels are said to offer superior anti-glare properties while manufacturing the multi-touch feature directly into the LCD cell without necessitating any additional glass. The 4.3-inch panel hits mass-production that quarter. Feel free to speculate on which MID devices might sport ‘em.
