AUO part-number control resource
An AUO model must be recorded exactly as printed on the panel label and controlled documentation. A shortened family name is useful for search, but it is not sufficient for engineering approval or purchasing.
Why the complete suffix matters
Models within one visible family can differ in interface, pin assignment, timing, voltage, connector location, outline, mounting, optical stack, backlight and lifecycle. Punctuation and spacing may also be represented differently in catalogs. Normalize search terms, but preserve the manufacturer form in the BOM and approval record.
| Record | Acceptable use | Not acceptable for |
|---|---|---|
| Family only, such as G156HAN | Early discovery | Quotation, compatibility or BOM approval |
| Base plus version, such as G156HAN04.0 | Exact-document lookup and RFQ | Approval if label and document revision still conflict |
| Full label plus controlled document revision | Engineering comparison and sample control | Automatic approval without system testing |
How to capture a panel identity
- Photograph the full rear label in focus.
- Transcribe brand, complete model, revision, date code and any customer-specific identifier into separate fields.
- Retain dots, spaces and suffix characters exactly; also store a normalized search key for retrieval.
- Match the label to the title page and revision of the datasheet and mechanical drawing.
- Record the supplier, inspection date and approved physical sample.
Examples and interpretation limits
Names such as G133XTN01.0, G133XTN01.1, G133XTN01.2 and G133XTN01.3 should be treated as distinct purchasable identities until their controlled documents are compared. Likewise, G156HAN04.0 and G156HAN04.1 are not interchangeable merely because the family and diagonal size are similar. Do not infer connector, temperature range, brightness or production state from naming syntax alone.
Suffix comparison worksheet
| Field | Source | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Model and revision | Physical label and datasheet title | Must agree |
| Outline and connector location | Mechanical drawing | Compare dimensions and tolerances |
| Interface and pin assignment | Interface specification | Compare every used pin and voltage |
| Timing and power sequence | Electrical specification and host design | Validate with controller |
| Optical and environment | Datasheet plus application requirement | Test in final stack |
| Lifecycle and supply | Dated manufacturer/supplier evidence | Reconfirm at quotation |
FAQ
Can punctuation be removed when searching?
It can be normalized for search, but the exact manufacturer form must remain in controlled purchasing and engineering records.
Does a higher final digit mean a drop-in upgrade?
No. Revision numbering does not prove electrical or mechanical compatibility.
Can two sellers use different names for one panel?
Catalog formatting can vary. Resolve the identity from the physical label and manufacturer documentation.
What should be sent with an RFQ?
Send a label photo, exact model, required quantity, application, destination, date-code limits and required delivery date.
