Au optronics already thinking of selling the first 8k screens

AU Optronics is already preparing to start shipping its first screens with an 8K resolution in the first half of this year 2018, the 4K has not yet been standardized and manufacturers already want to make this resolution obsolete as soon as possible.

AU Optronics is about to ship 8K panels

Au Optronics expects 4K TVs to represent 40% of the market share by the end of this year 2018, something that will be helped by increasingly affordable prices. The manufacturer already thinks of going further, wants to send its first models with 8K panels in the first half of this year 2018, these will offer four times more pixels than current 4K and sixteen times more than Full HD than ever they look more like a Pleistocene. Au Optronics expects 8K TVs to account for 10% of the market share by 2020.

The main television manufacturers have already started to demand 8K panels, on the other hand, the 2020 Olympic Games in Japan will be broadcast in this resolution, which also demonstrates the great interest behind it. As if that were not enough, Au Optronics also wants to bring the 8K to small panels for mobile phones and laptops and even interactive car displays.

Now it remains to be seen how consumers will respond to the arrival of 8K, especially seeing the slow adoption of 4K. Years ago 4K resolution arrived and today the content available is still quite limited.
