The largest TFT LCD maker you’ve probably never heard of today said it had developed for its name brand clients the world’s first 16:9 Full HD TFT-LCD with 1920 x 1080 resolution for desktop monitor. Availability for this LCD from Au Optronics is projected later this year, though we don’t know as of yet pricing or who will actually put this panel into retail environments.

Auo’s new 24-inch TFT-LCD offers up a widescreen 16:9 format for better viewing of HD content. It offers up what is described as a “stylish thin and eco-friendly” design and is 1080p capable. Thinness of the display compared with more conventional 24-inch displays measures out at some points to 14mm.

Auo plans to develop similar TFT-LCDs in 15-inch, 18.5-inch, 21.5-inch, 27-inch and 32-inch. These others will somehow find their way to retail about the same time as the 24-inch, though the 27-inch isn’t expected to almost the end of the year.
