AUO

The business model centres on research, development and volume manufacturing of display and energy hardware that is sold to other businesses. AUO produces a broad portfolio of display panels and modules (public displays, automotive cockpit panels, wearable and notebook/gaming displays) and advanced technologies (micro LED, mini LED-based backlights) which are integrated into end products by OEMs, system integrators and automotive manufacturers. It complements this with a vertically integrated solar energy line, from module manufacturing to broader energy solutions.

Value is created by combining process engineering, panel design and long-term manufacturing capacity to offer customised form factors (e.g. TARTAN and free-form panels), automotive-grade reliability and energy-efficient technologies. Acquisitions such as Behr-Hella Thermocontrol deepen its role in automotive interiors by adding climate control and HMI systems, enabling more content per vehicle and higher value per programme through tier‑1 supply relationships.

AUO is a Taiwan-based display and energy technology manufacturer with more than 5,000 employees and over €1 billion in revenue. It designs and mass-produces display panels and modules across public signage, automotive cockpits, wearables, gaming and other device categories, and also operates a vertically integrated solar energy business.

The company earns revenue primarily from B2B hardware sales and project-based system solutions to device OEMs, automotive manufacturers and tier‑1 suppliers, system integrators, and enterprise customers. Through acquisitions such as Behr-Hella Thermocontrol, it is expanding into automotive human–machine interfaces and climate-control systems, positioning itself as a tier‑1 supplier in smart mobility while continuing to develop micro LED, mini LED and other display technologies for industrial and consumer device brands.
