An AUO model number is a precise procurement and engineering identifier. Similar-looking base names and different suffixes must be treated as different parts until the corresponding datasheets, labels and change notices prove compatibility. Do not decode a suffix from guesswork.
Safe identification process
Photograph the installed label, preserve punctuation and spacing, record the revision or suffix exactly, and cross-check the unit against its original datasheet. Capture size, resolution, interface, connector, voltage, backlight, outline and temperature range in the same record.
What a suffix can change
A suffix or revision may correspond to changes in timing, connector mapping, mechanical construction, optical stack, backlight, surface treatment, temperature grade or lifecycle. The exact meaning is model-specific; only controlled manufacturer documentation should decide it.
Model comparison table
| Decision area | Evidence required | Release rule |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanical | Drawing, active area, mounting and connector location | All hard limits pass |
| Signal | Interface, mapping, timing and pin assignment | Controller and cable validated |
| Power/backlight | Ratings, sequencing, enable and dimming | Measured through all states |
| Optical | Luminance, contrast, viewing and surface stack | Finished assembly passes |
| Environment | Operating/storage limits and system test | Margin documented |
| Supply | Exact suffix, lifecycle evidence and change control | Procurement approval |
Common identification errors
Dropping punctuation; confusing zero with the letter O; using a reseller-shortened name; treating a photo from another revision as evidence; and approving a purchase order that omits the suffix.

Frequently asked questions
Is the base model enough for an RFQ?
No. Supply the complete identifier and a label photo whenever possible.
Can suffix meaning be generalized across all AUO models?
No. Verify each model against controlled documentation.
What if the label is damaged?
Use equipment records, connector and mechanical measurements, and the original bill of materials, then validate with a sample.
Should punctuation be preserved?
Yes. Preserve dots, hyphens, spaces and revision text in engineering and purchasing records.
