In the blog post of Jan. 7th, we have explained the\u00a0LG Phillips-made LCD screen model numbers<\/a>. In this post, we will explain the logic behind composing a model number for LCD screens made by AU Optronics (more commonly referred to as AUO).<\/p>\n

Every LCD made by AUO will have the model number starting with “B”. The next 3 numbers refer to the LCD screen size (e.g. B133 means the LCD is 13.3″; B121 is for a 12.1″ LCD, and so on).<\/p>\n

New and old AUO models are slightly different. The older models have 2 letters after the screen size, and the newer models have 3. Example of a model number:\u00a0B156XW01 v.1<\/a>\u00a0(old);\u00a0B156HTN01.1<\/a>\u00a0(new).<\/p>\n

The next letter after the size denotes the screen resolution:<\/p>\n

X = 1366×768
\nR = 1600×900
\nH = 1920×1080<\/i><\/p>\n

The next letter after the resolution tells the LCD type – if it is\u00a0TN or IPS<\/a>:<\/p>\n

T= TN (regular view)
\nA = IPS (wide view)<\/i><\/p>\n

The next letter after the type tells if the LCD is made for a\u00a0touchscreen laptop<\/a>:<\/p>\n

N = no touch screen
\nT = touchscreen<\/i><\/p>\n

The digits following after the touchscreen parameter is for the revision of the LCD. They do not have a particular meaning, and they are assigned in a numerical order, as the LCD’s are being produced.<\/p>\n

Next is HW number – sometimes important (LCDs may have different brackets alignment, different video connector and\/or pins, special EDID, etc).<\/p>\n

In most cases, it is best to order according to the LCD model number. If you are unsure what LCD screen you need to order, make sure to\u00a0contact us<\/a>\u00a0prior to placing your order.<\/p>\n
