Date:2026-06-23
Comprehensive analysis of the highlights of the new model of AU: products that will be launched from 2026 to 2027
In the rapidly iterating industrial market of display technology, continuously launching products that meet new demands is a reflection of suppliers' core competitiveness. In the roadmap for the second quarter of 2026, AUO Display Plus announced a large number of new LCD modules that will soon be mass-produced (MP) from mid-2026 to the end of 2027, with sizes ranging from 3.5 inches to 27 inches. The technology roadmap is mainly based on AHVA, and upgrades will be implemented in multiple dimensions such as brightness, wide temperature, color gamut, refresh rate, and touch integration. This article comprehensively analyzes the highlights of these upcoming products based on the "New Model Summary" and various size pages in the roadmap, providing forward-looking selection references for system integrators and engineers.
I. Small size upgrade: higher brightness and AHVA popularity (3.5 "~5.7")
Small size industrial displays (usually used for handheld terminals, instrument panels, and home appliance control panels) used to be dominated by TN, but AU is pushing for a transition towards AHVA and high brightness in this field.
1. A035QTN07.0 (3.5 "QVGA, June 2026 MP)
Positioning: Replace A035QN02 VG (EOL in March 2027) that is about to be EOL.
Core parameters: brightness of 500 nits, operating temperature of -20~70 ℃, digital interface (6bit+FRC), no touch.
Highlight: Compared to the previous generation, the brightness has increased from 430 nits to 500 nits, maintaining the same wide temperature range, suitable for outdoor handheld devices or high ambient light indoor panels.
2. <a href="https://www.idtdisplay.com/products/AUO_LCD_Displays/4-3inch/" target="_blank" title="G043FAT02.0 (4.3 "WQVGA, Q2 2026 MP)">G043FAT02.0 (4.3 "WQVGA, Q2 2026 MP)
Positioning: Resistive touch assembly, replacing EOL's G043FTT01.0.
Core parameters: brightness of 400 nits, operating temperature of 0-70 ℃, RS (resistive touch), air adhesion.
Highlight: The viewing angle has been increased from 130/105 to 178/89 (presumably using AHVA instead)? The document indicates RS but does not specify LCD technology, but the viewing angle has improved significantly. It supports a wide temperature range of 0-70 ℃ and is suitable for scenarios such as self-service terminals and medical carts that require glove operation.
3. G057QAN01.0/1.1/1.4 (5.7 ″ QVGA, Q4 2025 MP)
Positioning: 5.7-inch square screen, replacing the old G057QN01V2 (EOL December 2025).
Highlight: The three versions may correspond to different brightness or touch configurations. 5.7 inches is a classic size for industrial HMI, and the new model is expected to maintain a wide temperature range of -20~70 ℃ and a long-lasting backlight, and may be upgraded to AHVA (the original TN viewing angle is poor).
II. 7-10.4 inches: Wide temperature, high brightness, and AHVA fully spread out
The medium size is the core range for industrial tablets, medical displays, and self-service terminals, where AU has invested the most new models.
4. G070VAN01.3 (7 ″ WVGA, Q3 2026 MP) and G070VAN01. x (under planning)
Positioning: 7-inch widescreen, no touch standard module.
Highlight: Adopting AHVA technology, the expected brightness can reach 400-500 nits, and the working temperature is -20~70 ℃. The planned G070VAN01. x may further upgrade its resolution or interface (such as eDP). 7-inch is a popular size for handheld devices, and the new model will gradually replace the old TN version.
5. <a href="https://www.idtdisplay.com/products/AUO_LCD_Displays/10-1inch/" target="_blank" title="G101EAN03.0/03.1/03.2 (10.1 ", MP from Q3 to December 2027)">G101EAN03.0/03.1/03.2 (10.1 ", MP from Q3 to December 2027)
Positioning: The next generation mainstay of the 10.1-inch widescreen star series.
Highlights:
The three versions may correspond to different brightness levels (standard/high brightness/ultra high brightness) or touch configurations.
The expected resolution is still WXGA (1280 × 800) or upgraded to FHD (1920 × 1080).
The interface may be upgraded from LVDS to eDP, supporting higher refresh rates.
The mechanical design is expected to continue the ultra narrow frame (SNB) and maintain a wide temperature range of -20~70 ℃.
Directly replacing the G101EVN01. x series of EOL in March 2027, customers need to verify in advance.
6. G104SAN01.0/01.1/01.2 (10.4 "SVGA, Q1~Q2 MP in 2027)
Positioning: 10.4-inch square screen, upgraded to AHVA technology.
Highlight: The old models such as G104STN03V5 are TN, while the new model adopts AHVA, which increases the viewing angle from 140/130 to 178/89 and the contrast ratio to 1000:1. The expected brightness is 450~500 nits, supporting a wide temperature range of -30~85 ℃ (refer to G084SAN01.0 of the same size), which is very suitable for harsh industrial environments. The three versions may distinguish between touch or different brightness levels.
7. G104VAN01.0 (10.4 ", Q4 2025 MP)
Positioning: Could it be VGA resolution (640 × 480) or higher? Does "VAN" in the model imply Video or VGA? Please note the difference between G104VAN and G104SAN. It is speculated that the former may be a lower resolution version, but still uses AHVA for cost sensitive applications that require a wide viewing angle.
III.12~15.6 inches: FHD popularization, wide temperature and high brightness, and ultra-thin design
This size range is the mainstay of industrial tablets and medical workstations, and AU has brought multiple high-performance models.
8. A140HAN01.0 (14 "FHD, June 2026 MP) and A140HAN01.3 (Q1 2027 MP)
Positioning: 14 inch widescreen, filling the gap between 13.3 inches and 15.6 inches, suitable for portable industrial laptops.
Highlight: Equipped with AHVA, brightness of 300-500 nits, working temperature of 0-50 ℃ (standard) or wide temperature range available. EDP interface, supporting 8-bit color depth. A140HAN01.3 may be a higher brightness or touch version.
9. A156HAN01.4 and A156HAN01.5 (15.6 "FHD, both June 2026 MP)
Positioning: The main upgraded version of 15.6-inch industrial widescreen.

10. G156HAB05. x (15.6 "FHD, MP April 2026)
Positioning: Ultra thin narrow bezel industrial widescreen.
Highlights:
The interface uses eDP (instead of LVDS) to reduce the number of wiring harnesses and support higher transmission rates.
Flat Type "design, with a total thickness controlled within 3mm, suitable for embedded installation.
Brightness of 300 nits, working temperature of 0-50 ℃, focusing on indoor lightweight HMI.
IV. 17~21.3 inches: Medical grade high resolution and high brightness
The professional display field (especially medical diagnosis) requires extremely high resolution, brightness, and color accuracy, and AU has launched multiple high-end AHVA models here.
11. G190EAN01.311 and G190EAN01.312 (19 ″ SXGA, Q1 2027 MP)

VII. Summary: Technical Trends and Selection Suggestions for New Models of AU
Looking at the upcoming new models from 2026 to 2027, the following three major trends can be summarized:
AHVA fully replaces TN/AMVA: Except for a few low-cost models, almost all new designs adopt AHVA technology to ensure wide viewing angles and color consistency.
Wide temperature and high brightness have become standard features: more and more models support -20~70 ℃ or even -30~85 ℃, with a brightness of over 500 nits, meeting outdoor and harsh industrial environments.
Interface migration to eDP: New models such as G156HAB05. x and G270ZAN02. x both use eDP, supporting higher resolution, refresh rate, and simpler cable connections.
Selection suggestion:
If the project lifecycle needs to extend until 2030, priority should be given to new models produced in 2026 and beyond to avoid EOL risks.
For the 10.1-inch requirement, wait for the G101EAN03. x series in 2027, or for the current transition to G101EAT02.6.
For the 15.6-inch wide temperature high brightness requirement, A156HAN01.5 (500 nits, -20~70 ℃) is currently the best choice.
High end medical diagnosis directly uses G213QAN02.0 (QXGA, 1000 nits); Outdoor digital signage can consider G240HVN01.0 (1500 nits) or the new G215HAN02.0.
Through this intensive round of new product releases, AU Display Plus further consolidates its leadership position in the industrial display field, providing customers with future oriented, high-performance, and long-lasting product choices.
