1.G085VW01 V0 Production Suspension Notice

Dear users and partners:

Thank you for your long-term trust and support in AUO's industrial LCD screen products.

We hereby officially announce that the AU 8.5-inch wide temperature industrial LCD screen G085VW01 V0 has been discontinued by the original factory of AU. Since its mass production in Q2 2010, this model has been widely validated in industrial HMI, vehicle terminals, medical equipment, outdoor terminals, and other fields due to its 300nit brightness, -30~85 ℃ ultra wide temperature working range, and replaceable backlight design.


G085VW01 V0 was mass-produced in Q2 2010 and discontinued in Q3 2018. The current production status is discontinued. Please prioritize evaluating alternative solutions for new project development, and complete the transition as soon as possible for long-term projects.
