Ngomhla ziyi-17 kuNovemba, i-AU Optronics (AUO) yabamba umcimbi e-Kunshan wokumemezela ukuphothulwa kwesigaba sesibili somugqa wokukhiqiza wephaneli ye-LCD ye-LTPS (i-low-temperature polysilicon) yesizukulwane sesithupha. Ngalokhu kunwetshwa, umthamo wokukhiqiza wengilazi ongaphansi we-AUO wanyanga zonke e-Kunshan usudlule amaphaneli angu-40,000.

Indawo yomcimbi wokuvula

Isigaba sokuqala sesikhungo se-AUO sika-Kunshan saqedwa futhi saqala ukusebenza ngo-2016, saba yindwangu yokuqala yesizukulwane sesithupha ye-LTPS ezweni lase-China. Ngenxa yokuthuthukiswa okusheshayo kwemikhiqizo esezingeni eliphezulu emhlabeni wonke kanye nokwanda okuqhubekayo kwesidingo samakhasimende nemakethe, i-AUO iqale uhlelo lokukhulisa umthamo wendwangu yayo yaseKunshan. Ngokuzayo, inkampani izosheshisa ukukhiqizwa kwemikhiqizo ye-niche esezingeni eliphezulu njengamabhukwana e-premium, amaphaneli okonga amandla ekhabhoni ephansi, nezibonisi zezimoto ukuqinisa ukuncintisana komkhiqizo wayo kanye nesabelo semakethe. Lokhu kuhambisana neqhinga le-AUO lokuguqula i-double-axis lokuthuthukisa inani elingeziwe lobuchwepheshe bokuboniswa (Go Premium) kanye nokujulisa izinhlelo zokusebenza zemakethe ezime mpo (Go Vertical).

Ubuchwepheshe be-LTPS buvumela amaphaneli ukuthi abe nezinzuzo ezibalulekile ezifana namazinga okuvuselela aphakeme kakhulu, izinqumo eziphakeme kakhulu, ama-bezel amancane kakhulu, izilinganiso eziphakeme zesikrini kuya komzimba, nokusebenza kahle kwamandla. I-AUO iqongelele amakhono aqinile ekuthuthukisweni komkhiqizo we-LTPS nasekukhiqizeni ngobuningi futhi yakha inkundla yobuchwepheshe eqinile ye-LTPS futhi inwebela emakethe yemikhiqizo esezingeni eliphezulu. Ngokungeziwe kumaphaneli e-notebook nama-smartphone, i-AUO futhi inweba ubuchwepheshe be-LTPS kumageyimu nezinhlelo zokusebenza zokubonisa izimoto.

Njengamanje, i-AUO izuze isilinganiso sokuvuselela esingu-520Hz kanye nesinqumo esingu-540PPI ezincwadini zayo zokubhalela ezisezingeni eliphezulu zezinhlelo zokusebenza zemidlalo. Amaphaneli e-LTPS, anezici zawo zokonga amandla nezici zokusebenzisa amandla aphansi, anamandla amakhulu ezinhlelweni zezimoto. I-AUO iphinde ibe nobuchwepheshe obuzinzile obufana ne-lamination yosayizi omkhulu, ukusika okungajwayelekile, nokuthinta okushumekiwe, okungahlangabezana nezidingo zokuthuthukiswa kwezimoto zamandla amasha.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-AUO Group kanye nemboni yayo yaseKunshan izibophezele ekulinganiseni ukuthuthukiswa kwezimboni nomnotho nokuvikelwa kwemvelo. Ukwandisa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla aluhlaza kukhonjwe njengomsebenzi obalulekile wezinhlelo ze-AUO zokuthuthukisa esimeme. Le nkampani isebenzise izindlela zokonga amandla kanye nokunciphisa ikhabhoni kuzo zonke izici zokukhiqiza nokusebenza. Indwangu yaseKunshan futhi iyimboni yokuqala yephaneli ye-TFT-LCD LCD ezweni lase-China ukuzuza isitifiketi se-LEED Platinum soMkhandlu wase-US we-Green Building Council.

Ngokusho kwePhini likaMongameli we-AUO Group, uTerry Cheng, indawo ephelele yamaphaneli elanga asophahleni esikhungweni saseKunshan kulindeleke ukuthi ifinyelele ku-230,000 square metres ngo-2023, namandla okukhiqiza ugesi ngonyaka wama-kilowatt-amahora ayizigidi ezingama-23. Lokhu kubala cishe u-6% wesamba esiphelele sonyaka sokusetshenziswa kukagesi kwesikhungo sase-Kunshan futhi kulingana nokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamalahle avamile cishe amathani angu-3,000 kanye nokukhishwa kwekhabhoni dioxide ngamathani angaphezu kuka-16,800 ngonyaka. Ukonga ugesi okuhlanganisiwe kudlule amahora angama-kilowatt ayizigidi ezingu-60, futhi izinga lokugaywa kabusha kwamanzi selifinyelele ku-95%, okubonisa ukuzibophezela kwe-AUO emigudwini yokukhiqiza eyindilinga nehlanzekile.

Phakathi nomcimbi, u-Paul Peng, uMongameli kanye ne-CEO ye-AUO, wathi, "Ukwakha lo mugqa wokukhiqiza we-LTPS wesizukulwane sesithupha kwenza i-AUO iqinise isikhundla sayo semakethe emikhiqizweni efana nama-smartphone, izincwadi zokubhalela, nezibukiso zezimoto. Sithemba ukuthi sizothuthukisa izinzuzo ze-Kunshan ku-optoelectronics kanye nezimboni zezimoto zamandla amasha ukuze kukhanye imbonini eqhubekayo yokubonisa isikhathi esizayo."
