HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

The flagship single-panel display is a 42-inch transparent microLED, presented as the largest single-piece microLED panel of its kind. It offers up to 800 nits of brightness, making it suitable for interior digital signage. A key application demonstrated is a real-time AI language translator for international hubs like hotels or restaurants, allowing for face-to-face interaction while bridging language barriers. The technology is customizable in size and aspect ratio.
AUO also showcases the ability to tile these panels with minimal seams. A 64-inch display, created by combining two 42-inch panels, features a bezel gap of less than one millimeter, which is nearly invisible in most retail and luxury use cases. This larger display is demonstrated as a sports AR solution for luxury boxes, capable of overlaying player stats, replays, and even live betting odds over the live view of a game.
Another application is an interactive AR box for luxury goods. This setup uses a transparent microLED screen in front of a physical object, such as a signed baseball. Users can interact with a digital twin of the object using gesture controls to rotate or zoom in, providing an interactive experience without needing to handle the sensitive physical item. This highlights the display’s ability to merge digital information with real-world objects seamlessly.
AUO is also bringing microLED technology to the consumer market, referencing their work on a high-brightness smartwatch for Garmin, which is designed for outdoor use in full sunlight. In the mobility sector, the company demonstrated an XR interactive window concept at CES, using the transparent microLED as a canvas for AI-driven information overlays in vehicles.
